- Modern fitted kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate work
- Compact overall size (~410 sq ft) limits living space

Quiet, single‑level living close to Herne Bay amenities makes this two-bedroom bungalow an attractive option for anyone seeking low‑maintenance accommodation. The living room and compact modern kitchen are arranged for straightforward day‑to‑day use, and recent kitchen and bathroom fittings reduce immediate upgrade costs. A secluded rear garden and private driveway add usable outdoor space and off‑street parking—rare benefits for a bungalow at this price point.
At about 410 sq ft the footprint is modest, so the home will suit buyers wanting single‑floor convenience rather than large entertaining spaces. The property is chain free and freehold, which simplifies purchase and may appeal to buyers looking to move quickly. Council Tax Band C and the nearby high‑performing primary schools are practical strengths for downsizers prioritising convenience and local services.
Buyers should note the property’s construction era and services: built c.1976–82 with timber‑frame walls (assumed insulated) and electric storage heating. These features can mean higher running costs than modern gas systems and may prompt buyers to check insulation, heating efficiency and any latent maintenance needs. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown; consider surveying frames and glazing for thermal performance.
Overall this bungalow offers straightforward, low‑hassle living with a private garden and parking. It’s well suited to downsizers or small households who value a quiet setting and convenience over floor area, and who are comfortable with the era’s construction and electric heating or prepared to upgrade those elements over time.
