Property description
0.7 ACRES*! This excellent property is an individually-designed, detached, timber-framed bungalow built in 1964 on the site of a former nursery. With stunning sea views from the garden, this home is spectacularly situated in a quiet, idyllic corner of the historic and up-and-coming seaside town of Dover on the East Kent coast. As well as being a perfect creative\‘s retreat, with its views, wildlife and peaceful surroundings, the 0.7 acre* hillside plot also makes a dream setting for gardeners and self-sufficient living.
This unique bungalow in Dover has been in the family since it was built and was owned by a local artist. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retirement home, the perfect, out-of-town, self-sufficiency project or a beautiful weekend bolt hole in commutable distance from London, this exclusively-positioned, coastal home really provides it all.
Inside this substantial property is an open living/dining area with a commanding window that floods the space with natural sunlight. All four bedrooms share a family shower room, however there is a separate toilet to the back bedroom, providing a wonderful opportunity to create a master bedroom suite.
As part of an elevated estate, the bungalow is set above the town on a good-sized plot complete with landscaped garden, mature ornamental borders and vegetable/fruit growing beds. With an enviable seating area where you can enjoy a coffee or glass of wine as you admire (or even paint) the views, this home can be dramatic and poetic; an inspiration for artists and writers alike.
As far as practicalities go, there are a number of cupboards and wardrobes built in to the property providing plenty of storage. The warm air heating system vents into the rooms via adjustable ducts while the hot water boiler, situated in the kitchen, is under annual service contract. There is also double glazing throughout and 12 of insulation in the loft space. There is off-street parking for two small cars as well as a wide garage. The A2 & M20 are in easy reach and the HS1 High Speed Rail Link gets to London from Dover in just over the hour.
The opportunities for recreation are in abundance here. With the Norman castle and famous White Cliffs just moments away, and the cathedral city of Canterbury driveable in around half an hour, the sunny summer days are well catered for while there are plenty of walks, rides and sea-sports in easy reach for those of a more active nature.
It must be said that the property would benefit from modernisation throughout and is priced accordingly. However, it is a wonderful opportunity to create a very special home and viewing is highly recommended. In order to book your appointment, or if you have any questions regarding the property, then please call Geering & Colyer where our friendly staff are more than happy to help.
