This property is a veritable Tardis of a bungalow on the outskirts of Fordwich, surrounded by the Kent countryside. Once you walk through the front door that you can begin to appreciate the spaciousness and the individuality of this charming property. The attractive entrance hall leads you straight through to the light and bright lounge with its partially angled ceiling, fireplace, inset lit niches for ornament displays and a wall of windows and french doors overlooking the impressive swimming pool and the farmland beyond. In one direction there are double glazed doors to the fascinating dining room with its vaulted and beamed ceiling and adjacent boot room while at the other end of the lounge there is direct access to the main bedroom area. This includes a family bathroom with its intriguing air bath where you can relax after a busy day together with three good sized bedrooms.

There is a well fitted kitchen that leads through to a very large double bedroom with a wall of mirrored wardrobes and a wonderful en-suite complete with a shower that massages your back and a fully equipped sauna. This bedroom and shower room would make an excellent annex for an elderly relative or even a guest suite. Outside the swimming pool obviously takes centre stage and is surrounded by a good sized patio together with shingle hard standing, a built in barbecue for entertaining on those lazy summer days. The very easy to manage garden includes a good sized garden shed and at the front of the house you will find a garden area with two magnolia trees, rose bushes and plants as well as a double driveway leading to the integral garage, providing off road parking.

There is also a separate single driveway at the other end of the bungalow which is ideal for friends and family when they come to visit.

What the Owner says:
"We moved here some 18 years ago because we fell in love with the peace and tranquility as well as the space and the stunning views across the Kent countryside. It has always been a joy to watch the local wildlife, wander along the adjacent fields and see the horses in the nearby paddocks. However I feel it is now time to move nearer to my children and grandchildren and hope that others will be able to enjoy my home as much as I have over nearly two decades. Although the bungalow is in rural surroundings it is not far to the historic city of Canterbury with its high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, theatres and universities whiled Sturry is less than five minutes by car with its mainline station and convenience store. It also includes the renowned Kathton House fine dining restaurant, a pharmacy, post office and hairdresser as well as the famous Kings School Junior school and the Sturry primary school, graded Outstanding by Ofsted. There is the main road and a bus that can take you into Canterbury or as far as the Thanet towns. Fordwich itself is famous for being the smallest town in England with its own town hall. It is full of attractive and historic buildings and has the river Stour running through the centre and also includes two excellent olde worlde pubs – the Fordwich Arms and the George and Dragon. For anyone who enjoys outdoor pursuits there are wonderful places to go fishing on the river".

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
