Charming single-storey period lodge on circa 0.4-acre plot, secluded yet close to Hildenborough station..
Substantial private garden approximately 0.3–0.4 acre (TBC)
A distinctive single-storey period lodge set in a very large, private garden of approximately 0.3–0.4 acre. The house blends traditional brick character and exposed beams with modern comforts such as triple glazing, gas central heating and fast broadband, making it an appealing single-floor home for downsizers or families seeking long-term flexibility.
Accommodation is versatile: currently arranged as 3/4 bedrooms with two reception rooms, a cosy sitting room and conservatory that looks out over the gardens. The detached garage and generous parking add practical convenience, and there is scope (subject to planning) to replace the garage with a 2–3 car bay and a usable loft room for a home office or additional living space.
Buyers should note the bungalow’s age and construction. The property dates from the 19th century with solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation, so thermal upgrading may be required. Council tax is described as expensive; any major alterations or garage replacement would need planning permission. The woodland-backed, secluded setting provides excellent privacy but is in a hamlet/isolated location, so vehicular access is important.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful single-storey home in a prosperous, low-risk area with fast communications and good schools nearby. It suits someone wanting immediate, comfortable single-floor living with clear potential to add value through sympathetic improvement or permitted conversion works.
