Description

Nestled on a generous 0.19-acre plot in the desirable village of Cuxton, this three-bedroom detached chalet bungalow presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. The home features a spacious driveway, detached garage, and an expansive garden that is currently overgrown but offers endless possibilities for landscaping and outdoor improvements. Inside, the layout begins with an entrance hall that includes storage, leading into a double-aspect lounge that connects seamlessly to a bright study area. The kitchen/diner is bathed in natural light thanks to its triple aspect and includes direct access to the garden and driveway. The main bedroom could alternatively serve as a third reception room and is located at the front of the house. On the ground floor, you'll also find a shower room for convenience. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms along with a cloakroom area, providing ample space for family or guests. While this property requires comprehensive updating throughout, it offers buyers an excellent canvas to customize their living space according to personal tastes and preferences. Positioned chain free, this home benefits from proximity to local amenities including well-regarded schools and transport links—making it ideal for commuters seeking access to Strood's high-speed rail services. The surrounding countryside setting enhances its appeal, especially with Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve nearby. With easy access to major roadways like the M2/A2, this location is not only tranquil but also highly practical for everyday living.
