For sale by Modern Method of Auction; Starting Bid Price £225,000 plus Reservation Fee.

Situated along Forty Acres Road in Canterbury, this two bedroom detached bungalow occupies a corner plot and offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a property to renovate and put their own stamp on. Believed to date back to approximately the 1930s, the bungalow is in need of modernisation throughout but offers plenty of potential for the right purchaser.

The accommodation is arranged across a single floor and begins with an entrance hallway providing access to the main rooms. Positioned to the left are two bedrooms, along with the family bathroom. Moving further through the property, there is a separate dining room and kitchen, while the lounge is positioned to the right. The layout offers a good starting point for buyers looking to redesign or improve the existing accommodation to suit their own requirements.

The property also benefits from two bay windows, adding some traditional character to the bungalow and providing natural light to the accommodation.

While the property requires updating and improvement, it presents an opportunity for someone looking to take on a renovation project and create a home to their own specification. The existing layout provides separate living and dining spaces, with potential to explore alternative arrangements, subject to any necessary permissions.

Externally, the bungalow occupies a corner plot with a garden positioned to the side of the property. This provides useful outside space with scope for landscaping and improvement.

There is also a driveway providing off-road parking, together with a garage offering additional storage or parking.
