3 bed detached bungalow for sale

The Length, St. Nicholas-At-Wade CT7

This detached three-bedroom bungalow occupies a central position in the sought after village of St. Nicholas-at-Wade. Next door is the village shop and Post Office, and the historic church and two village pubs are within a five-minute walk. The popular village Primary School is just a 10-minute walk away.
The property, a beloved family home for many years, is in need of modernisation. The bungalow presents a new owner with many options and vast potential from modernising the present layout to more ambitious projects (subject to planning permission in a conservation area) as it sits in a large plot and has a large attic.
When you enter, the first door opens to the spacious south-facing lounge with large windows overlooking a front garden mostly laid to lawn. Following the hall round, the next room is the kitchen large enough to accommodate a central table or island. Three double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate toilet complete the layout.
To the front of the house, there is a long drive for several cars leading to a double garage. The rear garden also needs some tlc and has different areas of interest with lawn and also well-established planting and trees.
