Bungalow for sale in Hill Drive, Eastry, Sandwich CT13

This Superb Single Storey detached property, on a substantial Cul-De-Sac plot, gives you Options

It’s the ideal blank canvas where you can give it a quick freshen-up or really go for it and extend and/or convert to create a modern, versatile family home.

If you’re looking to downsize to a more manageable home, this well maintained detached bungalow on the edge of sought-after Eastry village could be perfect.

The potential

It does need some work to freshen it up. Chances are you’d want to give it a lick of paint and replace the kitchen and bathroom in due course - but it doesn’t have to turn into a big or expensive project.

Then again, if you can see the full potential offered by the 500m2 plot - it could become the perfect project. You could transform this two bedroom bungalow into a spacious and versatile three or four bedroom family home.

Its current two bedroom, lounge and kitchen/diner layout could be reconfigured and additional rooms added. How you do this is really up to you, depending on your budget and your vision.

The substantial wrap-around gardens give plenty of room to extend to the side and/or the rear (subject to planning permission, of course)

Building to the side could make room to add an ensuite to the largest bedroom and turn the smaller bedroom into a decent sized double.

Extending to the rear could transform the kitchen / diner into a superb, sociable space (without feeling like too much of the back garden has been lost as a result).

Then there’s also the option of converting the loft or turning the built-in single garage into another habitable room. There’s plenty of room to park several cars on the large driveway or at the front of the property, so a garage conversion would be a more practical use of the space.

It’s easy to see why this quiet cul-de-sac could be the ideal place to create your forever family home.

Out and about

Eastry is a quiet village with an “Outstanding” local primary school.

And you can also say goodbye to school run stress when you move here, as the school is only a 2 minute drive or a 10 minute walk away.

Older kids have a little further to travel to the Sandwich Technology College (rated “Good” by Ofsted) but there is a bus service taking them from the village to near the school.

Eastry has an active community and a choice of local shops, pubs and cafés that should be able to satisfy most of your day-to-day needs.

If you want more choice of shops and places to eat it’s less than a 10 minute drive to Sandwich.

It’s also handy if you want to hit the beach as it only takes around 15 minutes to drive to the historic Deal Pier.

Deal has a maritime buzz, but still retains its Georgian period charm, with an unspoilt seafront and the Grade II listed pier.

The kids will love exploring the nearby 365-acre Betteshanger Country Park, which has plenty of activities for all ages and fitness levels.

And if you favour walks over immaculate fairways and manicured greens, Royal St George’s, Sandwich (which has hosted 15 Open Championships, dating back to 1894) is only a 12 minute drive away.

If you need to head further afield you’re less than 5 minutes from the A256 bypass and around 8 minutes from Sandwich station, where you can hop on a train to London (which takes less than 90 minutes to reach St Pancras).

This versatile property could be perfect if you’re looking for a more manageable base in a popular village that’s close to Sandwich and Deal.

On the other hand, if you’ve got the vision, it could be turned into the perfect, modern 3 or 4 bedroom family home.

Given the wide appeal (and the fact it’s a bungalow - they’re always popular), i’m expecting plenty of interest. Call me on to arrange a viewing.
