Description

This spacious four-bedroom detached bungalow presents a solid foundation for those seeking a renovation project or investment opportunity. While the current owners have made significant updates throughout the home, with the exception of flooring, the property retains ample potential for further enhancement and expansion. The layout includes an inviting entrance porch leading to a dual-aspect living room that features a cozy fireplace, creating a warm focal point. The newly fitted kitchen offers modern functionality, while a conservatory extends the living space and invites natural light. Three double bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping quarters, along with a fourth single bedroom that could serve as an ideal home office or guest room. The family bathroom is ready for personal touches to suit individual tastes. Externally, the property stands on a generous plot with extensive front and side gardens that offer significant scope for potential development or extensions (subject to planning permission). A driveway accommodates parking for multiple vehicles, and there is also a double garage for additional storage or workshop space. At the rear, a patio area provides an outdoor retreat for relaxation or entertaining. An added advantage is the opportunity to acquire an adjacent parcel of land available separately from the property purchase, located just a short walk away. Situated in Detling, a quaint rural village nestled on the southern slopes of the North Downs in Kent, this location balances tranquility with accessibility. Approximately four miles northeast of Maidstone town center, Detling promotes community living with its local amenities such as a village pub, hall, parish church, and community store. The nearby A249 allows straightforward access to major motorways (M2 and M20), facilitating commutes to London and coastal areas in Kent. Families will appreciate Hockers Close’s proximity to Leigh Academy Primary School—recognized as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted—and its inclusion in catchment areas for various respected primary and secondary schools. Maidstone town offers comprehensive shopping options and entertainment venues within a short driving distance, along with Maidstone East and West rail stations providing swift services into London. This property not only meets immediate needs but also offers significant investment possibilities within an appealing community setting.
