We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A beautifully presented and wonderfully light two-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying an enviable position in the highly sought-after village of Barham, in the heart of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This charming home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved by the current owners and offers bright, airy accommodation throughout.
The welcoming entrance hall leads through to the impressive double-aspect sitting room, a warm and inviting space featuring a hetas-certified wood burning stove, installed in 2021 and serviced annually, together with French doors opening directly onto the stunning rear garden.
The property offers two generous double bedrooms and a stylish kitchen fitted with a quality German Häcker kitchen, installed by a local cabinet-maker just six years ago.
The kitchen provides an excellent range of wall and base units, space for a dining table and sliding doors leading out to the garden.
Additional features include a Kinetico inline water softener, recently serviced as part of its five-year maintenance schedule, and a Silverline inline drinking water filter.
The bungalow benefits from double-glazed windows and doors throughout, whilst further improvements include replacement pipes, radiators and a Worcester Bosch boiler installed by British Gas approximately ten years ago, all of which have been regularly serviced.
Floors For Paws vinyl flooring runs throughout most of the property, with ceramic tiling to the bathroom.
The gardens are undoubtedly a particular highlight, having been beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained to create a peaceful and colourful outdoor space with an abundance of mature planting and far-reaching views across the Kent Downs.
There is a charming summerhouse measuring approximately 8’ x 5’, a greenhouse measuring 10’ x 6’, and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside.
Externally, the property also benefits from a detached garage and three private parking spaces to the front.
Barham remains one of East Kent’s most desirable villages, offering a wonderful balance of countryside living and convenience.
The village benefits from a community shop and Post Office, a well-regarded public house, active church and a primary school rated “Good” in its 2023 Ofsted inspection.
The surrounding countryside provides endless opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits, whilst nearby Canterbury offers an excellent range of shopping, dining, educational and transport facilities.
