Key information
Features and description
Beautiful modern two double bedroom detached bungalow with summer house, detached garage situated within stunning landscaped gardens enjoying fantastic rural views.
Situation
Sunny Bank is excellently positioned nestled in an enviable elevated 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 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 lovely detached bungalow is beautifully presented and has been by the present owners, well-maintained to a high standard. The property presents itself with two generous bedrooms and the master being of double aspect with doors opening out into the glorious gardens. The modern family bathroom is excellently fitted with a corner bath, separate shower cubicle, inset sink and closed couple wc. Across the rear of the property is a spacious light and airy sitting room with feature gas fire and a further dining room both enjoying fabulous rural views. The kitchen/breakfast room again is of double aspect, fully fitted with access into the utility, downstairs wc and front porch. This really is an exceptional find and an early viewing is highly recommended.
