House For Sale £450,000
Location:
Yew Tree Gardens is a beautiful spot tucked away in a private, gated cul-de-sac in the smallest town in Britain. The cul-de-sac is rumoured to be built upon Henry viii's strawberry patch! Fordwich was first mentioned in 675 ad and is a thriving town on the outskirts of Canterbury, there are many historic buildings including the Town Hall which is thought to be the smallest in England. From the bungalow you could walk to either of the highly regarded pubs, if you fancy a longer walk then there are three public footpaths which can take you along the River Stour or towards the marshes at Stodmarsh. The Old School House is commonly used for functions, voting and regular coffee mornings which are great for the community. Canterbury Golf Club is just a 5 minute drive away, so many members live in Fordwich. If you would rather be near the water in your spare time then perhaps the local fishing club or hiring a canoe or paddle board on a sunny afternoon would tickle your fancy!
Canterbury City Centre is just a short drive away or you can catch one of the frequent busses that take you into the heart of the City. Here you can enjoy exploring the quaint cobbled streets brimming with boutique shops and great eateries. Canterbury West train station has high speed connections to London St. Pancras and Canterbury East station travels to London Victoria for people needing to commute or visit the capital.
The property:
The bungalow has a real feeling of space and is in good decorative order throughout. In its current layout the property comprises of a fully fitted kitchen with a range of wall and base units with space for a washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is an integrated oven with gas hob and extractor above. This leads to the dining area which has a large floor to ceiling window allowing plenty of light to fill the room, this leads around to the lounge area which is large enough for all of your furniture but feels cosy with the multi-fuel burner, there are also patio doors which lead to the garden.
The bedrooms are off of a hallway towards the right hand side of the bungalow, before reaching the bedrooms there is a separate W/C which is fully tiled, has a low level W/C, a pedestal wash hand basin and a radiator. There is then a shower room which is also decorated in the same contemporary tiles as the W/C. This has a large shower cubicle and vanity sink unit with plenty of storage underneath and to the side. The first bedroom one reaches is a double room with a built in wardrobe and views over the garden, the next bedroom is a large single room which is currently used as a study and has a built in wardrobe, and the master bedroom is a very good size and boasts bespoke fitted wardrobes. This property also has a wonderful extra room to the other side of the bungalow which would be great as a hobby room, or would make a larger home office or treatment room for those who work from home.
Externally there is an enclosed rear garden which is a real sun trap! There is a small lawned area in the centre with a resin seating area surrounding it, there are raised flower beds and a shed for storage. To the front of the property there is a driveway providing parking for two vehicles, there is also a Garage with up and over door which has power and light and a small parking space in front.
As the property is in a private, gated community, there is a £200 per year fee to maintain the road, pond and seating area.
