Description

This appealing two-bedroom detached bungalow, built by the current owners in the 1950s, is now presented to the market for the first time. Nestled on an expansive plot of approximately 0.4 acres in the attractive village of Chartham, this home offers immense potential for renovation and expansion. Its favorable location opposite a primary school makes it particularly advantageous for families seeking both a sizable garden space and convenient amenities. The property features a spacious front garden with ample parking possibilities alongside a substantial garage that includes an inspection pit, catering to car enthusiasts. Inside, while the bungalow retains its nostalgic charm, it is ready for modern updates and reconfiguration. The layout includes a welcoming entrance hallway leading to a bright sitting room and a good-sized main bedroom, complemented by a second double bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen that connects to a separate dining room overlooking the garden. Although fully livable as-is, this home provides an exciting blank canvas for any buyer looking to personalize their living space. Outside, the true asset lies in its extensive rear garden characterized by mature planting and open lawn areas—ideal for gardening enthusiasts or families desiring privacy. A former stable at the end adds character and potential for unique projects. The surrounding area fosters a strong community spirit with excellent local amenities within walking distance. For those with visions of growth, opportunities abound here for extending or even loft conversions (subject to planning permission), aligning perfectly with contemporary family needs.
