Chain Free Property - Generous Plot

A truly rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional detached bungalow occupying a substantial, unusually generous plot in one of River's most sought-after positions, with breathtaking elevated views across the village and surrounding countryside.

Coming to the market for the first time in generations, this unique home offers outstanding potential for those looking for their dream property. Set within extensive gardens and grounds, the property offers significant scope to extend, reconfigure or add additional outbuildings, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.

Tucked away in a secluded setting, the property enjoys extensive gardens and provides a wonderful sense of peace and privacy while remaining within easy reach of local amenities. The plot extends well beyond the immediate curtilage of the house and provides an abundance of outdoor space which includes ample off-road parking and a double garage. This makes it the ideal property for families, gardening enthusiasts, or those simply seeking a lifestyle property with room to grow.

The accommodation comprises two large, well-proportioned double bedrooms, a study or spare bedroom and a spacious reception room opening out onto a terrace. The house provides the perfect space to relax and unwind while enjoying the picturesque views. A large separate dining room creates an ideal setting for entertaining friends and family, while the spacious kitchen is complemented by a practical utility room with an adjoining pantry, offering additional storage and functionality.

Outside, the impressive gardens and grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Whether you are an avid gardener, enjoy outdoor entertaining, or simply value privacy and space, this exceptional secluded and unique plot offers considerable scope and endless possibilities. A large veranda area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining, summer barbecues, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Situated in the highly desirable village of River, the property benefits from an excellent range of local amenities within walking distance, including a popular primary school, Co-op convenience store, pharmacy, post office, traditional public houses, and takeaway facilities. Excellent transport connections are available via the A2, M2, and M20, whilst nearby Kearsney railway station offers regular services to Canterbury and London Victoria, making it an attractive location for commuters.

Properties offering this level of privacy, land, development potential, and spectacular views are rarely available. Early viewing is highly recommended.
