Description
This two-bedroom bungalow is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The accommodation includes a 16ft lounge with patio doors to the rear garden, a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The kitchen has fitted wall and base units, space for appliances and a gas combination boiler. The property has gas central heating and generally double-glazed UPVC windows.
Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and includes a lawn, established planting and a paved patio, with gated pedestrian access. A detached garage and additional off-road parking are also included. The home would benefit from modernisation, giving a buyer scope to update the existing accommodation.
Bus services are stated to be around 350 yards away, with Tankerton Parade approximately 0.6 miles away, Whitstable 1.6 miles and Canterbury 6.9 miles. Chestfield station is listed at around half a mile. The property is freehold and is marketed by Kent Estate Agencies.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a usable two-bedroom bungalow with a clear, moderate modernisation canvas: dated finishes offer scope to update the interiors, while the overgrown rear garden could be cleared and reshaped. The garage, parking and lounge doors opening onto the garden add useful appeal, and the available exterior views show no obvious major roof failure.
The main drawback is the price: £350,000 is around 19% above the local £/sqf average. Adding the £36,000–£62,000 renovation range also leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against the local benchmark for a home of this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of renovated value. Overall, it has practical features and a manageable project, but the asking price and project economics make it a low-opportunity buy at this level.
Key opportunities
- Update the dated interior finishes, including the kitchen and bathroom, to create a more current feel.
- Clear and rework the overgrown rear garden, which connects directly to the lounge.
- Make use of the garage and off-road parking, useful additions for a two-bedroom bungalow.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding the estimated £36,000–£62,000 of works would leave the project cost high against the local benchmark for this floor area.
- Plan on something close to £399,000 once the asking price and an estimated £49,000 of refurbishment are combined, about 26% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
