3 bedroom property for sale in Canterbury

GUIDE PRICE ?500,000 - ?525,000.

An attractive 2/3 bedroom detached bungalow with generous gardens, driveway and double garage enjoying a prime position in the heart of Old Wives Lees, a peaceful village conveniently located for access into Canterbury, Ashford and Faversham. The village is surrounded by stunning Kentish countryside, with lots of beautiful walks from your doorstep.

The Gables` offers versatile and spacious accommodation and sits on a generous plot with beautiful gardens. We feel it would suit a variety of buyers, from young families with children who would love playing out in the garden to those looking for single storey living. The bungalow has great potential, and it has just received planning permission to convert the garage into an annexe, along with a single storey extension to create a large open plan kitchen/family room to the rear. The current owner has since found their dream home which she is hoping to move to. The creation of an annexe would make it ideal for those living with elderly relatives or teenagers.

The property is set back from the road and has an attractive front garden. You enter into a very spacious entrance hall, with plenty of space to hang coats and there is a built-in storage cupboard. There are two large double bedrooms to the front, both enjoy a double aspect, and one has built-in wardrobes. Continuing down the hallway, a door to the left leads into a spacious kitchen/diner which has a double oven and five ring gas hob. The kitchen is a lovely bright room, offering plenty of space for cooking and socialising, and is further complimented by a large utility room which has further counter space. Here, you will find space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and there is also a useful WC and a door out to the rear garden. Back out in the hallway and now on the right-hand side, a door takes you into a cosy living room with another door leading into a further reception room which is currently being used as a third bedroom. This room has built-in wardrobes and sliding doors out to a lovely conservatory.
