If living the rural idyll is your dream then this detached bungalow, with countryside views as far as the eye can see, could be top of your list. While it is in need of a little TLC this property will make a wonderful home and offers the opportunity to enjoy country pursuits whether you have horses or ponies or are looking to develop ‘the good life,' with chickens, sheep and even alpacas. It nestles in 20.7785 acres of grounds incorporating two paddocks and woodland and also includes a superb newly built detached property that currently has permissions as a holiday let but could have the possibility of gaining planning permission as a permanent home. The two properties are set well back from the road and approached via a long drive that leads to a pair of entrance gates opening onto a vast hard standing area where you can park a number of vehicles.

A second pair of gates provides access to an inner block paved driveway to the bungalow. This is bordered by a wild garden area with a paved terrace that leads round to the contemporary front door and L-shaped hall. There is a family bathroom and four double bedrooms, one of which would make an excellent study.

However, the ‘piece de resistance' of this property is the stunning dual aspect lounge. It includes three bi-fold doors to the impressive decked terrace providing superb views over the rolling countryside. There is a good sized kitchen/diner with plenty of storage units and space for appliances as well as an adjacent to the utility room. There is a wide archway from the dining area to a convenient study area that could very easily be a family area and has French doors to the terrace so also offers great views. The rear garden includes a lawn and a large garden shed and is surrounded by picket fencing that backs onto the paddocks, while the front garden is bordered by tall mature trees.

Walking into the stunning newly built holiday let you are immediately struck by the attention to detail and high end fixtures and fittings. These include oak doors, amazing bathrooms and Karndean flooring with underfloor heating on the ground floor. There is a superb open plan kitchen/dining/living room with three bi-fold doors and a double bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs there are further two double bedrooms, both of which have en-suites.

* May be subject to restricted lending.

* Incomplete Holiday Let in grounds with planning consent but without completion sign off.

What the Owner says:
"The bungalow and grounds have been in our family for nearly 20 years and it has been a very special home. Recently we have built the holiday let as we planned on staying here and using it to generate additional income but our situation has changed. We love waking up every morning to the beautiful views and watching the local wildlife and it is a great place to bring up our children. Although we are out in the country the lane carries on to Alkham with its community village hall and the well-known Marquis of Granby hotel and restaurant. We are not far from Dover or the Channel Tunnel for access to the Continent or the motorways for Ashford, Canterbury and London while the high speed train from Folkestone Central can whisk you to St Pancras in less than an hour. There is an Outstanding primary school in nearby River and excellent grammar schools in both Dover and Folkestone and renowned private schools in Dover and Canterbury.”
