Description

This detached timber frame Colt bungalow stands approximately 90' back from the Smarden Road on a secluded plot of approximately 1.05 acres backing on to farmland.

The bungalow was built in 1966 for the present vendor who has thoroughly enjoyed living in this spacious three bedroom purpose built home that is surrounded by open countryside with the convenience of a mainline railway station nearby. This plot offers an opportunity for redevelopment or extension subject to the usual planning permissions.

The accommodation comprises entrance porch, entrance hall, cloakroom, large sitting room/dining room with wood burner (including backup back boiler), kitchen, inner hallway, three bedrooms and bathroom.

Upon arriving at the property you are greeted by a five bar gate that provides access to a long recently laid driveway providing parking space for several cars and leading to a detached garage. The gardens surround the bungalow and are predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and plants. A paved patio to the rear garden provides a place to relax in the sunshine with a generous greenhouse and vegetable garden nearby. In addition there is a detached outbuilding which has been divided into an office/study and a garden storage room/workshop.
