This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Hawkinge, offering a compact, single-level home suitable for downsizers or first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance living. The property benefits from a detached garage, off-road parking and a private rear garden — practical assets for storage, hobbies or light gardening. The sitting room is bright and roomy for the house size, and the property is freehold with affordable council tax and fast broadband.
The kitchen is described as modern but the fitted units date from around the 1970s and will likely need updating to suit contemporary tastes and appliances. The shower room is modest in size and the overall internal space is small (approximately 614 sq ft), so buyers should expect compact rooms and limited storage. Constructed in the 1950–66 period with filled cavity walls and double glazing of unknown age, the house presents straightforward maintenance rather than major structural overhaul, but buyers should verify specifics such as glazing age and boiler service history.
Location is a key selling point: a friendly village setting with good local schools nearby — including outstanding-rated options — and basic amenities and bus links within easy reach. Practical positives include mains gas central heating and no flooding risk. Important considerations are the area’s higher crime statistics and local deprivation indicators; purchasers should factor this into security and insurance decisions.
Overall, this bungalow offers a manageable single-storey home with garden, garage and parking in a quiet street. It will suit buyers who prioritise easy living and location over internal space, and those happy to modernise the kitchen and cosmetic finishes to unlock the property’s potential.
