Set on a generous, private plot just under a mile from Whitstable seafront, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a rare single‑level living opportunity for downsizers or those seeking a substantial renovation. The house is chain free and sits well back from the road with an in‑and‑out driveway and a detached garage with an electric roller door — excellent for secure parking and storage.
Internally the layout is practical: a bay‑front lounge with an open fireplace, a long dual‑aspect 20ft kitchen/diner with garden access, three double bedrooms and a sizeable wet room. The large, westerly 67ft rear garden catches afternoon sun and provides privacy for outdoor living or landscaping projects. The loft is insulated and partly boarded for extra storage potential.
The property requires full modernisation throughout. Windows are older aluminium-coated frames and the heating system is an existing gas boiler; updating kitchens, bathrooms and general finishes will be needed to bring the home up to contemporary standards. Council Tax Band E should be factored into ongoing costs.
Location is a clear strength: a short walk to local shops, Tankerton parade, the slopes and the mainline station for Canterbury and London links. For buyers looking to create a tailored single‑storey home in a popular coastal suburb, this bungalow delivers space, plot and scope — provided you accept the refurbishment commitment.
