Description

This charming three-bedroom bungalow occupies a wonderful position on a generous 1.29 acre plot in the popular village of Swingfield, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy rural living with excellent potential to create your dream home.
Approached along a shared driveway, the property feels wonderfully private. Inside, the layout flows beautifully, beginning with a spacious lounge/diner that forms the sociable heart of the home. This opens naturally into a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with views over the garden, while a light-filled conservatory provides the perfect spot to enjoy the outlook across the plot.

The bedroom accommodation is well arranged with three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all served by a practical central hallway with useful storage. The bungalow offers a solid and practical layout that would respond beautifully to sympathetic updating and modernisation, allowing you to put your own stamp on it while retaining its character.

Outside, the standout feature is the substantial plot of approximately 1.29 acres. Mostly level grassland, it is ideal for a smallholding, keeping horses, or simply relishing the space and privacy that comes with countryside living. There is also excellent potential to extend the bungalow both to the rear and upwards, subject to the usual planning consents. A large detached brick outbuilding with separate store provides fantastic additional space for storage, a workshop or future conversion possibilities.

The property is served by an oil-fired heating system and cesspit, as there is no mains gas in the village.
Swingfield is a friendly village with a strong sense of community, conveniently located within easy reach of Canterbury. The cathedral city offers a superb range of schools, shops, restaurants, and high-speed rail links to London, while the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and coastline are all within easy reach.

A superb opportunity to acquire a bungalow with significant land in this sought-after area. Perfect for families, equestrians or anyone seeking space to grow. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this property has to offer.
