Description

Originally constructed in the 1950s by Fortescue Builders, known for their quality craftsmanship, this two-bedroom detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity as it comes to market for the first time in over six decades. Positioned on a generous plot at the village's edge, this property balances rural charm with convenient access to local amenities. Inside, you will find classic period features like oak flooring in the reception areas and hallway, along with an inviting open fireplace and traditional oak doors throughout. The front entrance is highlighted by an original oak door adorned with leaded glass. The property's spacious layout includes a welcoming entrance porch leading into a hall that connects to a sitting room with a large bay window and dining area, alongside a practical kitchen equipped with an oven and ample breakfast space. Additional functional features comprise a utility room, WC, boot room, and a modern bathroom with dual showers fitted with built-in drying facilities. Notably, while the staircase leading to the attic is fixed and steep, it has been creatively used by previous owners as a versatile space for sleeping, studying or play. This home boasts substantial potential for extensions or renovations (subject to planning permissions), making it an excellent investment opportunity. Outside, the well-maintained gardens offer ample space enhanced by mature greenery and an old oak tree providing added character. The front of the property features a lawn and driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles leading to an expansive garage. With no onward chain attached to this sale, prospective buyers can envision both immediate comfort and future possibilities in this delightful property located in Smeeth village, close to essential facilities including shops and transport links.
