Ethelburga Drive, Lyminge, Folkestone

Property Description: Guide Price £375,000 - £400,000. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular village of Lyminge, this extended three bedroom semi-detached bungalow has been carefully maintained by the same owners for fifty six years and is now being sold with no onward chain. With a spacious living and dining room, a practical kitchen, two shower rooms, attractive gardens and a garage with driveway parking, the property is particularly well suited to buyers looking for comfortable single-storey living in an established residential setting.

Originally built in the 1970s, the bungalow was extended in 1983, creating a more versatile layout with a third bedroom, additional space in the kitchen and improvements to the accommodation. The property has clearly been cared for over the years, with further updates including a modern shower room fitted approximately four years ago.

An entrance porch leads into the central hallway, from which the main rooms are accessed. The living and dining room is a particularly generous space, with a large front-facing window bringing in natural light and ample room for both comfortable seating and a dining table. Its proportions allow the room to accommodate everyday living and family gatherings without feeling crowded.

The kitchen has been arranged to make good use of the available space, with fitted cupboards, generous worktops and room for a small breakfast table. Integrated appliances include a Neff oven, microwave and grill, an electric hob, a Whirlpool fridge and a slimline dishwasher. A door leads outside, providing convenient access to the driveway and garden.

There are three bedrooms, arranged to provide flexibility for different needs. The principal bedroom is positioned towards the rear of the bungalow with access to the garden and its own en-suite shower room, creating a degree of separation from the other bedrooms. The second bedroom is another comfortable room, while the third could be used for guests, hobbies or a dedicated study. The main shower room has been updated with a contemporary suite, including a large walk-in shower enclosure, wash basin with vanity storage and WC. The en-suite makes the layout particularly practical when family or friends come to stay.

Outside: The gardens have been beautifully maintained and are designed to be attractive without requiring extensive upkeep. The front garden has a neat lawn and established planting, while the enclosed rear garden has a central lawn, colourful borders, shrubs and paved pathways. Its secluded setting creates a pleasant place to sit outdoors, with enough space for gardening and entertaining while remaining manageable.

There is gated side access to the rear garden, together with two timber sheds and a useful brick-built store. A driveway provides off-road parking for three to four cars and leads to a single garage with power and lighting, providing further parking or storage space.
