Summary - 26 VAUXHALL AVENUE HERNE BAY CT6 8AQ
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Bright single-floor living with large garden, driveway and garage close to the coast.
Three-bedroom detached single-storey bungalow, ideal for retirement living
This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Vauxhall Avenue offers comfortable single-level living with strong practical benefits for downsizers or retirees. The bright, open living/dining room with a large roof lantern and wide glazed doors creates a welcoming social hub, while the adjoining kitchen appears recently updated for everyday convenience. A generous rear garden, substantial frontage and a large gravel driveway with attached garage deliver excellent parking and outdoor space for hobbies or entertaining.
The property dates from the 1930s–1940s, so it has period character and a traditional layout that will suit anyone seeking low-maintenance, ground-floor living. Practical local advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and easy access to good local schools and the seaside. Tenure is freehold and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note a few material points to consider. The bungalow’s exterior and some windows are dated and there is mixed information about glazing (double glazing noted but some images show older single-glazed frames), so replacement or confirmation of window specification may be needed. Cavity walls are listed as having no insulation (assumed), so buyers wanting improved energy performance should budget for insulation and potential heating upgrades despite the property having a mains-gas boiler and radiators. There is a single bathroom and the internal layout is traditional rather than fully open-plan — good for privacy but less suited to buyers wanting a full modern reconfiguration.
Overall this bungalow presents a solid, well-located retirement or downsizing opportunity with immediate liveability and clear scope to enhance energy efficiency and exterior landscaping. It will suit purchasers who value single-floor convenience, generous outdoor space and strong connectivity, and who are happy to carry out modest improvements to windows, insulation or exterior presentation.
