Property description

A spacious 3 bedroom detached bungalow situated on a generous plot in a secluded setting, close to the village of Hartley in Kent. The property offers good sized living accommodation and presents a fabulous opportunity for redevelopment into the perfect family home. A real find.

Living Accommodation
The double glazed entrance door leads to a large lobby/boot room with a tiled floor, radiator and cloakroom/WC. There is also access to the property's loft storage space from the lobby area. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units, ample worktop, fridge / freezer and freestanding electric cooker, with extractor fan over. The kitchen area has vinyl flooring throughout, plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine and a double glazed window to the rear. The double aspect dining area is accessed directly from the kitchen and offers plenty of space for entertaining. The generously sized sitting room has a feature fireplace with fitted carpets and the spacious, naturally light family room has double glazed sliding doors opening onto a sunny, paved patio.

Bedrooms/Bathrooms
The first two bedrooms are accessed from an inner hallway which is fully carpeted. The largest bedroom has a double glazed window to the rear, fitted carpet and has direct access to the family bathroom with bath, low level WC, pedestal basin, heated towel rail and window to side. Bedroom two is also carpeted, with a double glazed window to side, en suite shower room with a double glazed window to side, fully tiled shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin, low level WC, heated towel rail and tiled floor and walls. The en suite also provides secondary access to the loft area. The third double bedroom has a fitted carpet and double glazed window to side.

The Potential
There is no doubt that this property offers fabulous potential for the new owners to create their perfect home, subject to the necessary regulations and consents. The house has been lovingly maintained by the previous owners, who owned the property for 55 years. In recent years, the insulation qualities of the property have been greatly improved, with the roof over-hauled, new UPVC double glazed windows fitted throughout, and additional insulation and new render applied to the external of the building. With a further modernisation programme of the interior of the property, this house could become a really lovely family home. To help the new owners visualise how the internal layout could potentially be amended to create more separate living and sleeping accommodation (subject to necessary planning consents and building regulations), a second possible floorplan has been created and is attached. We would be delighted to talk this through in more detail.

Outside
The property boasts a detached tandem garage, with up and over door and an inspection pit. The garage is connected to the mains and also has the benefit of a large, secure storage area which is ideal for work and garden tools. Wood View sits centrally within its 0.26 acre plot, with lawn to all sides and hedged borders. The driveway to the property leads to hard standing for several vehicles, with plenty of space for a caravan or motorhome if desired.
