This detached, single-storey bungalow on Nursery Avenue is a practical, well-situated option for those wanting to downsize without losing space. Set on a large plot with a wide front garden, driveway and a good-sized garage, the layout includes three bedrooms, a generous lounge, conservatory and a sizeable rear garden — room to enjoy and to adapt.
The property is offered chain free and sits within walking distance of Bearsted Green and the mainline station, making local shops and rail connections easy to reach. Constructed in the 1930s–40s, the home retains period character, double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Some neighbours have considered extensions; any improvements would need the usual planning consents.
Please note the kitchen is traditional and dated and the home has a single shower room and separate cloakroom — good for many downsizers but potentially limiting for guests or multi-occupant use. Council tax is above average. The Lifetime Lease option through Homewise is available only to purchasers aged 60+ and typically reduces the upfront cost (example guide price shown: Lifetime Lease £347,000 versus market value £525,000), with exact terms depending on age and circumstances. The property is freehold and not at flood risk.
Overall this bungalow will suit an older buyer seeking a manageable, single-level home in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and straightforward parking. It will require some modernisation to update kitchen and bathroom fittings if desired, but offers clear potential for improving living space subject to planning.
