Property DESCRIPTIONThis charming semi-detached bungalow offers great living space; with the kitchen and lounge both sat toward the front of the property whilst the shower room and bedrooms are at the rear. The shower room was updated in the Spring of 2024 and presents a clean and tidy space, and the bedrooms are nicely proportioned, with bedroom 1 enjoying patio door access to the garden. The bungalow benefits from a single garage with an updated electric roller door replaced in July 2025, and a patio which has been cleaned and re-grouted in September of this year, providing an excellent space to step into and dine. The tiered rear garden offers a lovely, elevated outlook to enjoy the evening sunshine.
Built near to Borstal Hill and around Whitstable Bay, much of the area offers stunning sea views and is close to Seasalter Beach for peaceful walks. With Prospect Retail Park and Estuary View Medical Centre nearby, this area is ideal for those requiring amenities a short distance away. Joy Lane Primary School is a short walk and is popular for those with young children in the area, whilst the 5 bus service covers Seasalter, to Whitstable and Canterbury.
