Description

This three-bedroom link-detached period bungalow sits beside the central green at Oxenden Square, within reach of Herne Bay seafront and town centre. The accommodation includes two large double bedrooms, a single bedroom and two adjoining reception areas. Period features are retained, alongside a contemporary-style finish and large front windows and entrance door, which the listing says are new. The kitchen/breakfast room has access to a private patio courtyard and is next to a separate WC. The long bathroom is fitted with a freestanding bath and enclosed wet-room shower. Outside, there are front and rear gardens, with the rear garden described as south-facing and including lawn and a raised patio. The listing states that full planning permission has been granted for an approximately 31.5 sq m side extension, with architect-designed plans. It also describes a proposed loft conversion and reconfigured layout that could provide additional accommodation, including a principal bedroom, study, shower room and balcony. Buyers should verify the permission, plans, conditions and feasibility of the proposed works. The property has an EPC rating of F.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The standout here is the setting: a characterful period bungalow beside Oxenden Square’s private green, with the seafront and town centre close by. Period mouldings, a fireplace and parquet-style floors give the reception spaces real character, while the bathroom is already a distinctive, modern feature. The visible condition looks generally sound, so the work is more about optional cosmetic choices—most notably refreshing the older-style kitchen—than taking on a major renovation.

All-in costs deserve a mention: adding an estimated £10,250 to the asking price takes total commitment towards £510,250 — around 12% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Enough to keep renovation economics in the "could be tighter" band.

Key opportunities

  • Retain and complement the period character, including the reception-room mouldings, fireplace and parquet-style floors.
  • Update the usable but dated kitchen if a more contemporary finish is desired.
  • The listing says full planning permission has been granted for an approximately 31.5 sq m side extension; verify the consent and conditions.
