If you are looking for a property where you can roll up your sleeves, add your own ideas and create something that feels completely your own, this two bedroom end-of-terrace bungalow in the heart of Hawkhurst could be just the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Tucked away just off Queens Road, the property occupies an end position within a small row of just four bungalows, approached via a communal parking area and footpath. It is a surprisingly peaceful setting, yet wonderfully convenient for the village centre and the amenities that make Hawkhurst such a popular place to live.

The property is now in need of modernisation and is being sold as seen, but beneath the dated interiors is a well-proportioned bungalow offering plenty of scope to improve, reconfigure and create a comfortable home for the future. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for an affordable project, an investor searching for an opportunity to add value, or someone looking for a bungalow to retire to and modernise to your own taste, there is plenty here to work with.

A covered front porch provides a useful entrance before you step into the main living room. With a double glazed window overlooking the front garden, this is a good-sized reception space and a natural starting point for the refurbishment.

From here, an inner hallway leads through the property and towards the kitchen. The kitchen currently has a range of base and wall-mounted units which may be capable of being retained and refreshed, although appliances will need to be installed. For a buyer with a vision, this could become a smart and practical kitchen without necessarily requiring everything to be replaced.

Further along the hallway is a useful utility room, providing space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door then leads directly outside into the rear garden, making this a particularly practical arrangement for everyday living.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and offers a blank canvas for someone wanting to create their own outside space. There is a covered side area which would be ideal for storing bicycles, garden equipment or outdoor furniture, while a gate provides access to the communal car park.

Back inside, the accommodation provides two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and is a comfortable double room, while the second bedroom is located towards the rear and would work well as a single bedroom, guest room, study or hobby room.

The shower room is fitted with a shower, wash hand basin and WC. For those looking to modernise and reconfigure, there may be scope to create a more contemporary bathroom arrangement, potentially incorporating a bath with shower over, subject of course to the necessary works and plumbing considerations.

Gas is connected to the property, providing the basis for a central heating system, although buyers should make their own enquiries regarding the existing installation and condition.

The real attraction here is the opportunity. This is not being presented as a finished home, but rather as a property where a new owner can put their own stamp on every room. A new kitchen, refreshed bathroom, updated flooring, decoration and thoughtful landscaping could completely transform the bungalow.

And then there is the location.

Hawkhurst is one of the Weald's best-known villages, offering a wonderful combination of countryside surroundings and useful everyday amenities. There are shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and local services nearby, together with beautiful countryside and walks to enjoy. The village also provides excellent access towards Cranbrook, Tunbridge Wells, Tenterden and the wider Kent and East Sussex countryside.

For an investor, there is the possibility of creating a modern rental property. For a first-time buyer, it could be an exciting first step onto the property ladder. For someone approaching retirement, the single-storey accommodation and manageable garden could provide the foundations for a comfortable home in a popular village setting.

There is certainly work to do, but that is precisely what makes this an interesting proposition.

Offered with no onward chain and sold as seen, this is a genuine project with potential in a particularly desirable location. Viewing is highly recommended for anyone looking for a bungalow in Hawkhurst where there is an opportunity to modernise, improve and ultimately create a home tailored entirely to their own needs.
