This three-bedroom detached bungalow on Westfield Lane offers comfortable, single-storey living with elevated views over the Kent Downs. Recently renovated throughout, it features a high-spec Howdens kitchen with quartz worktops and integrated appliances, a newly fitted bathroom, new carpets and Amtico-style flooring, plus new windows and bifold doors — move-in ready for buyers seeking a low-hassle home.
The property sits on a large, wrap-around landscaped plot with multiple terraces, a pond, pergola, garden room and workshop with power and lighting. Bifold doors from the dining/third bedroom open onto decking, extending entertaining space and drawing indoor and outdoor living together. A gated driveway provides ample off-street parking.
Practical updates include a three-year-old combi boiler, new consumer unit and double glazing (installed before 2002). There is scope to extend to the side or rear, subject to planning consent, offering potential to increase living space or customise the layout for accessible single-storey living.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward and important to note: the bungalow was constructed in the mid-20th century and retains relatively low to mid-height ceilings, which may feel restrictive to some. Some windows pre-date 2002 and could need future replacement. The local area records above-average crime compared with national figures; buyers should investigate neighbourhood safety and security measures. Overall, this chain-free home suits downsizers, families seeking single-level living, or those wanting a renovated country property with room to adapt.
