* cranbrook school catchment * Rarely available, deceptively spacious 4/5 bedroom bungalow * 0.47 acre plot * Fields to front and rear * Newly fitted kitchen * Home office * Parking 5/6 cars *
An opportunity to purchase a deceptively spacious and versatile bungalow with potential to extend the roof space subject to the necessary planning permissions. The original property was built c.1925 with a large extension to the rear in the 1970s. The current owners have made lots of improvements over the 10 years they've lived in the bungalow including a new roof, new doors and windows, remodelling the bathroom and shower room and the feature kitchen/dining room, but there is plenty of scope for further modernisation of the property. They are looking for a buyer to finish this exciting project and realise the full potential it offers.
The property is situated on a plot of 0.47 acres (measurement taken from Google Maps) in a semi-rural area on the outskirts of Staplehurst. Within walking distance of a mainline railway station (direct links to London around 50 minutes) and a new Sainsbury's store, it is in an enviable and convenient location for commuters. The village of Staplehurst is nearby with local amenities including a primary school, day nurseries, doctors, dentist, optician, post office, village hall, and many thriving village groups. Popular secondary schools can be found at Cranbrook and Loose (around 6 miles), Maidstone (around 10 miles) and Paddock Wood (train).
The Property:
Internal accommodation comprises: Entrance porch, long hallway, 4 bedrooms, sitting room/study/office/bedroom 5, lounge, impressive open plan newly fitted kitchen/dining room, family bathroom, shower room and loft room/office/bedroom/craft room. Being a bungalow, the rooms can have multi-purpose use depending on the needs of the new owners.

Gardens & Grounds: The property is accessed from the road through double gates opening onto a large gravel driveway with access to the carport (with electric car charger) and single garage. The front is screened by privet hedging and 6ft fencing. A side gate leads down a path edged by conifer hedging to the impressive 320ft (100m) rear garden. The well screened outside space is divided into three sections.
The first area is mainly laid to lawn with two patios and a pergola looking down towards well stocked borders of mature trees and shrubs and a large nature pond, with resident newts and frogs. The owners are keen bird watchers and over the 10 years they have lived here have recorded around 30 different species of birds visiting the garden! Carrying on through an archway, leads to the middle section of garden which is also mainly laid to lawn with a well stocked border down the left hand side.
On the right hand side can be found a substantial workshop/shed and two greenhouses all with light and power. The smaller greenhouse contains a very productive, mature grape vine. There are also outside taps in each of the garden sections. A unique sunken round garden surrounded with a yew hedge is next which has potential to be an outside entertaining space. It has previously been used as a rose garden, a vegetable garden and most recently has been left for the wildlife to use.
Adjacent to the path around the round garden are two patches of raspberries. At the end of the garden is the orchard, with eating apples, cooking apples, pears and plums, surrounded by large mature shrubs and trees and space for a large chicken run (the current one will be removed).
