2 bedroom bungalow for sale

Detached bungalow set within 1/3 of acre plot adjoining open fields with wonderful views. NO CHAIN.

Situation
The property is excellently positioned nestled in an enviable position in the heart of the Alkham Valley. The Alkham Valley is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty, over which there is a wealth of walks, rides and cycle routes not only through the village of Alkham but through to all the adjoining neighbouring villages too. The village has a range of amenities, including a very successful and elegant restaurant/bar, namely The Marquis of Granby which can be found in the centre of the village overlooking the village green and park. There is also a Community Hall with regular clubs and activities, plus a large Equestrian Centre and the garden centre now has local amenities. The town centre of Folkestone is situated only 4 miles away with its relatively new shopping centre, restaurants and coffee shops. The Channel Port of Dover is within only a few miles providing a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities. Access onto the A2 is within just a short driving distance, with the cathedral city of Canterbury being within approx. 15 miles. The high speed rail link to London and St Pancras accessed either through Folkestone West or Folkestone Central has a reduced travel time commuting to under 1 hour. Both these stations are approx. a 10 minute car journey, as is Dover Priory which offers alternative commuting routes.

The Property
This detached bungalow was originally constructed in 1932 and has been in the same family for over fifty years. It would now benefit from some updating and modernisation and possibly an extension, subject to obtaining the usual consents etc. Sitting in such a super plot and in a slightly elevated position allows the property to take full benefit of some rather lovely far reaching countryside views. The accommodation itself has been altered slightly over the years and now consists of an entrance hall with access to the front bedroom and the generous sitting/dining room which is double aspect allowing an abundance of natural light. An inner hall opens to a further good size double bedroom and a fitted kitchen with built-in eye level double oven and hob with extractor over, off here is a useful conservatory ideal as a boot room. A small inner hall has a deep shelved airing cupboard with hot water tank and a further storage cupboard, plus access to the bathroom.
