New House Lane, Canterbury

A charming detached bungalow occupying a large plot in a semi-rural setting, just minutes' outside of Canterbury. This lovely home is perfect for those who are wanting single-storey living, whilst enjoying a beautiful garden which measures approximately 170ft in length and opens out to wooded area. There are two garages, with electric roller doors and a large workshop at the end of the garden.

The property has only had two owners since built in the 70's, the current owner having lived there for 36 years. Although new owners may want to update the décor in areas, the property has been well-cared for and is neutrally decorated throughout. It is an exciting opportunity for someone to put their own personality into their new home and there is also potential to re-configure or extend if someone has more ambitious plans, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The bungalow is set back from the road, with a large front garden and a driveway leading up to the garages. The front door opens into a spacious entrance porch which has attractive parquet flooring and a built-in shelving unit. Another door then opens into a large triple-aspect living/dining area, the large windows allowing plenty of natural light to flood in making this a warm and very sunny room to relax in. There is a gas fireplace, with a red brick surround. A door on the right then leads to a good-sized kitchen, which has a range of matching wall and base units offering ample storage and counter space for food preparation. There is an integrated Bosch oven and gas hob and space under-the-counter for a fridge, washing machine and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen then takes you out to the side of the property, leading to the rear garden.

There are two double bedrooms to the back of the property, facing out to the garden. Both bedrooms have an abundance of built-in storage and wardrobe space. There is a spacious bathroom which has a modern suite featuring a large shower cubicle. There is also an additional WC next to the primary bedroom which could be made into a small shower room if someone was keen for an en-suite.

OUTSIDE:

The bungalow has a wonderful garden, measuring approximately 170ft in length and 52ft at its widest point. It is mainly laid to lawn, with a variety of mature shrubs and trees bordering and a shingle path leads you down to a delightful wooden area at the rear where you will find a large garden shed/workshop. Whilst the garden is large, it is manageable, and is the perfect space to enjoy on a sunny day, watching the wildlife and listening to birdsong.

There are two garages, which are side by side to each other. The right-hand side one is slightly wider than the left-hand side so would be able to house a larger vehicle or classic car. Both have an electric roller door to the front and then doors to the rear leading to the garden. There is space to park in front of the garages and a gate providing access into the garden.

LOCATION:

New House Lane is a friendly and inviting road, with access to beautiful countryside walks through fields and orchards. There is a wonderful community hall on the lane, which has a regular timetable of classes and events to get involved in including coffee morning, craft groups and pilates.

The area is ideal for those wanting quick and easy access into the City Centre, which is a short cycle or drive away, yet you feel as though you are in the heart of the countryside. If you enjoy getting your steps in, you will even be able to walk into the City Centre and there are many shops and cafes including Morrisons, within a shorter walking distance.

There is a superb nursery school located on the lane, as well as highly regarded secondary schools close by including both Langton grammar schools and St. Anselms. There is quick access onto the A2 to London and Canterbury West Station offers the high speed to service to London St. Pancras.

NB: Please be advised that we are also marketing the bungalow next door, therefore if you are two generations wanting to come together, this would be a fantastic opportunity for you!
