Description
This two-bedroom detached bungalow in Beltinge is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring updating throughout. The layout includes a front-facing lounge with a bay window, one bedroom at the front and a second bedroom overlooking the rear garden. At the back, the kitchen connects to a utility area, with a bathroom and separate WC completing the accommodation.
Gardens extend to both the front and rear. The property offers scope for buyers to modernise the existing accommodation, with the detached, single-storey layout providing a practical starting point. Beltinge has local amenities and coastal walks nearby, while Herne Bay's seafront, pier, shops and cafés, and the paths around Reculver Towers are also within the wider area.

Confidence: MEDIUM
This detached bungalow offers a clear modernisation canvas: dated decoration and worn timber floors give scope to refresh the living spaces, while the older kitchen and bathroom could be updated to suit a buyer’s taste. The maintained rear garden, natural light and single-storey layout add to its appeal as a project in Beltinge, and the photos show no obvious major structural defect.
The price is the sticking point. At £275,000, the asking price is already above the local £/sqf benchmark, and adding the £35,000–£65,000 renovation range leaves the likely spend stretched against local benchmark values for a home of this size. That comparison is with current local averages, not a forecast of the value after works, so the numbers make this a low-opportunity buy despite the scope to improve it.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated lounge and bedroom finishes and address the worn timber floors.
- Rework the older kitchen and adjoining utility area to create a more functional, updated space.
- Make use of the maintained rear garden and detached bungalow layout as part of a tailored single-storey home.
Key risks
- The asking price combined with the £35,000–£65,000 renovation range puts total costs under pressure against local benchmark values for this floor area.
- Factor in roughly £325,000 all-in — £50,000 of works on top of the asking price, leaving a gap of around 24% versus area norms for this sqft — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
