House For Sale £800,000
Nestling in 1.08 acres on the outskirts of East Studdal, the first indication that this is no ordinary bungalow is when you see the substantial brick built entrances at both ends of the in and out driveway. Add to this the good sized front lawn lapping at the foot of an impressive tree and the vast area of hard standing in front of the garage, where you could park numerous vehicles and your interest in what lies beyond the front door will increase. Once through the beautiful original oak door you will begin to appreciate everything this real Tardis of a bungalow has to offer.
The attractive hall with oak flooring that flows throughout most of the property leads to a sitting room with a brick fireplace and log burner as well as double aspect windows and French doors. There are two good sized double bedrooms, a cloakroom and a trendy family bathroom as well as a large master bedroom with floor to ceiling windows. The modern kitchen is stunning with its inset Rayburn, large central island breakfast bar and grey units housing a variety of appliances.
In the new extension is a vast utility room with a walk in larder and windows overlooking the kitchen garden. However the ‘piece de resistance' is the spacious dining room that is semi open plan to the lovely family room. This has two pairs of French doors to decked terraces and oak and glass bi-folding doors to the magnificent indoor swimming pool complex. There is also a large room upstairs that would make a great office.
The rear garden is a dream with well stocked shrub and flower beds and a sloping lawn leading up to a border of tall trees backing on to fields. There are two large decked terraces as well as a garden storage shed, a wood store, a carport, the garage with a workshop area and a ‘man cave'.
What the Owner says:
“When we bought the property some 15 years ago it was in a pretty parlous state so, over the years, we have completely renovated and extended it to become the special home it is today and where we love to relax and entertain friends and family. It will be a wrench to leave but we feel it is time to downsize and let another family enjoy everything we have created. We originally fell in love with the location as the rural environment is quiet and peaceful yet we are only 10 minutes from Whitfield with its large retail park and a big Tescos as well as doctors, hairdressers, pubs and restaurants while Shepherdswell station is not far away.
We can be in Dover docks for the Continent in under 15 minutes and Canterbury with its historic buildings, high street stores, independent shops, restaurants, pubs and main line stations in about half an hour. Boating aficionados can join the Downs Sailing Club in Dover and if you enjoy motor racing you can always visit the Lydden circuit. There are three primary schools in the vicinity including Kingsdown and Ringwould that is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while Dover, Sandwich and Canterbury offer excellent secondary state and private education”.
