Property Description: Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000. This beautiful 1930s bungalow is located in the tranquil village of Mersham, nestled within Kent's countryside behind a picturesque white picket fence. Having been substantially extended in 2013, this property has plenty of space for all of the family to enjoy. It currently has the ideal layout for multigenerational living with bedrooms, a reception room, a study and a bathroom to each side of the house with the kitchen and dining room perfectly placed in the centre for sharing. With grounds to both the front and back, there is substantial garden space for everyone.


This wonderful detached property and the almost 0.8 acres of land that it sits on, have both been extremely well maintained with time and care over the years. Decorated and refurbished with neutral tones throughout, this lovely home is ready for its new owners to move straight in and enjoy the surroundings. Saying that, this bungalow also has fantastic flexibility within and could even have part of the house converted to an income generating AirBnB opportunity or a self contained annexe, subject to usual consents.


The stylish shaker style kitchen has ample sage green coloured wall and base units for storage underneath solid style worktops. There is an oak centre island and integrated appliances that include; a full height fridge, a dishwasher, an eye level double oven and a ceramic hob with an extractor hood above. Plus there is a solid fuel Rayburn and a pantry. There is a separate utility room which has more storage units, a butler sink and plumbing and space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The kitchen leads through to the spacious dining room which has double French doors that open out to a private secret garden area.


To the front of the house the sitting room is beautifully lit by the two large windows and has an original fire set within an exposed brick fireplace while the living room is located at the back of the house and has plenty of space. Both studies are at the centre of the house and, with the property benefitting from superfast broadband, are perfect for those that have more than one requiring a work from home space.


Along the west side and the rear of the bungalow, there are five double bedrooms, all have either built in or fitted wardrobes for convenient storage and all of the bedrooms look out over the lovely surrounding grounds.


There is a family bathroom which has a separate shower cubicle and a freestanding roll top bath as well as a shower room which is fully tiled and has a walk in shower. There is also a separate cloakroom.


Outside: This property is approached down a long driveway and has grounds that wrap around the entire house with a white picket fence to the front border. The front garden is just as spectacular as the back and with both north and south facing grounds, you will have the sun all through the day. The grounds are fully enclosed with established trees to the borders creating the utmost privacy to this almost 0.8 acre plot. The wonderfully kept gardens are well stocked with perennials, shrubs and fruit trees. There is a summer house that the current owners use as a gym that has power and lighting connected, as does the garden shed, there is also a workshop. The terrace area has been designed perfectly for alfresco dining and entertaining and there's a wonderful natural pond that attracts the local wildlife. The garage has an up and over door and there is ample private parking for several vehicles.
