Summary - THE OLD BARN SCRAGGED OAK ROAD DETLING MAIDSTONE ME14 3HL
4 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Four bedrooms, large garden and flexible outbuilding ideal for family life.
Detached single-storey bungalow on a very large secluded plot
Tucked away on Scragged Oak Road, this four-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a very large secluded plot, blending rural privacy with easy access to Maidstone. The single-story layout places all principal rooms on one level, useful for families who value accessibility and a flexible floorplan. A rear living room opens via double doors to an extensive lawned garden, creating a bright indoor–outdoor flow for everyday family life and entertaining.
The property includes useful outbuilding space and a wide driveway with off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Practical features include solar panels and double glazing, which help running costs, while oil-fired central heating and a septic tank support independent utilities in this hamlet setting. Local primary schools rated Good are within reach and Maidstone’s rail links provide straightforward commuting options.
Buyers should note practical downsides: broadband speeds are very slow, heating runs on oil (not a communal supply), and there is a single family bathroom plus an extra separate WC. The EPC is D and council tax is described as expensive. The bungalow dates from the 1980s and will suit those happy to update fixtures or carry out selective renovation to modernise finishes and improve energy performance further.
Overall, the house will particularly appeal to families seeking a generous garden and single-level living in a quiet rural location, and to purchasers looking for a property with renovation potential and flexible outbuilding space.
