Summary - The Island, The Drove, Fordwich CT2 0DE
3 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Spacious three-bedroom bungalow with large south garden and countryside views.
Three double bedrooms including first-floor space
Guide price £550,000–£650,000. This detached three-double-bedroom chalet bungalow sits on a very large plot in a discreet, sought-after corner of Fordwich and enjoys uninterrupted countryside views to the rear. The house keeps attractive period character — exposed beams and feature fireplaces — while having practical upgrades such as Rockwool insulation, double glazing and gas central heating. A bright conservatory opens onto a generous south-facing lawn and paved patio, ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining.
The accommodation is arranged over a bungalow footprint with upstairs bedrooms, providing flexible living for families or downsizers. Practical features include a garage, gravel driveway parking and useful outbuildings: greenhouse, timber shed and workshop. Local amenities are strong: Fordwich village life, excellent nearby schools, and Canterbury within a short drive, plus straightforward links to Sturry station and the A2.
Important practical points: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and prospective buyers should obtain local flood reports and insurance quotes. Broadband speeds are slow locally and crime levels are above average for the area. The kitchen is in a rustic, country style and will suit buyers happy to retain character or invest to modernise. Council tax is above average and tenure details are not provided, so these should be clarified early in the purchase process.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home on a large south-facing plot with strong countryside appeal. It will suit buyers seeking village life near Canterbury who accept the flood risk and are prepared to carry out selective modernisation to fully capitalise on the location and scope of the site.
