This spacious three-bedroom detached chalet bungalow occupies a large, elevated plot on the outskirts of Canterbury, with far-reaching views to Tonford Lake and the surrounding countryside. The house combines 1950s charm—red brick façade and Tudor Revival details—with practical family accommodation: a generous lounge/diner, separate sitting room, kitchen with integrated appliances, utility, office and a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom.
The south-facing garden is a major selling point for gardeners and families, with a patio, lawn, raised beds, greenhouse and mature trees. A long driveway provides parking for several vehicles and a good-sized garage includes a boarded loft for storage. The location offers easy access into Canterbury, direct links to the A2/M2 and A28, and local schools and shops within easy reach.
The property has been in the same family since it was built and presents an opportunity to personalise and modernise. The two upstairs double bedrooms each have en-suite facilities and built-in storage, while the ground floor adds flexible living space. Buyers should note the house dates from the 1950s and may benefit from updating to kitchens, bathrooms, heating controls and some internal finishes.
Important practical notes: the home is freehold, has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, a council tax band above average, and no recorded flood risk. Interested buyers should verify the condition and working order of all services, fixtures and fittings as these have not been tested.
