About
A superb four bedroom detached chalet bungalow with delightful gardens located in desirable Cherry Drive in St Dunstans within easy reach of the city centre and Canterbury West railway station.
Deceptively spacious in size, this beautiful home has been intelligently extended to offer versatile living accommodation over two floors.
Set back from the road by a recently-laid driveway to front, the bungalow is very attractive and is presented to a high standard throughout.
The property has undergone numerous upgrades including replacement double glazing and composite front door in 2020 in addition to the new facias and external redecoration making it very aesthetically pleasing.
Upon entry, a large welcoming hallway leads through to a generous double bedroom at the front with a large bay window overlooking the front garden.
A second bedroom is also located on the ground floor adjacent to a convenient walk-in wet room that has been recently updated.
The principal reception room has two windows to the side elevation making it a light airy room and double doors open into the dual aspect dining room at the rear of the bungalow.
Having been thoughtfully designed, the extended kitchen, utility and dining area has skylights for even more additional light creating a very relaxing space overlooking the garden.
The renovated kitchen has almost doubled in size providing a huge array of both wall and floor fitted units with integrated cooking appliances and utility area.
The entire ground floor has also been adapted to make it entirely wheelchair-friendly with widened doors and corridors, level access into the front door and a ramp leading into the garden.
The Worcester Greenstar boiler was installed in 2022 and has been regularly serviced since. Under the stairs to the first floor is a useful storage cupboard under the stairs with a serviced alarm.
The accommodation on the first floor is very flexible and currently provides a large master bedroom that almost stretches the depth of the property.
A second room could be used as either a further bedroom or an ideal home office workspace. There is ample storage into the eaves either side and windows to both front and rear.
Outside, the stunning garden boasts a variety of plants, shrubs and trees providing all year colour and interest.
With both a newly-laid patio area and lawn, the garden has been meticulously cared for over the years and there is a choice of seating areas to enjoy with a real sense of privacy being surrounded with greenery.
A wide side access leads to the front of the property with newly fitted gates.
The bungalow has been maintained to an incredible standard throughout and has undergone many home improvements over the years, particularly from 2020.
Within the last five years, solar panels have been added, full internal decoration including painting, new carpets, flooring and external works.
The properly is very homely and in a condition ready to move into and has gas-fired central heating and double glazing throughout. Council Tax band D
