Hillborough Drive, Herne Bay, Kent, CT6 6RB

Situated within the highly desirable Bishopstone area of Herne Bay, this versatile detached bungalow occupies an exceptional plot on the sought-after Hillborough Drive, presenting a rare opportunity for purchasers seeking a home with significant potential in one of the town's most family-friendly and established residential locations.

Offering over 850 sq.ft of internal accommodation, the property provides flexible living arrangements with the option of either two or three bedrooms, depending on a purchaser's requirements. The layout currently comprises a generous 13'11" lounge; a separate 12'1" sitting room which could equally serve as a third bedroom, two further double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and family bathroom, making the home ideally suited to downsizers, families or those looking for single-storey living with adaptable accommodation.

Whilst the property would now benefit from a programme of light modernisation, it has been well maintained and offers tremendous scope for a new owner to update and personalise to their own taste. The size of the plot also presents exciting possibilities for further extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.

Further benefits include the installation of a new boiler, thoughtfully relocated to the loft space to maximise internal storage and free up valuable living accommodation.

Without doubt, one of the home's standout features is its remarkable rear garden. Measuring approximately 115ft in length from the rearmost of the bungalow, to the boundary and extending to around 50ft in width, the garden offers a wonderful amount of outside space rarely found in the area. Whether for growing families, keen gardeners or those who simply enjoy entertaining outdoors, the plot provides endless possibilities and a true sense of privacy and space.

Practicality is equally well catered for, with a driveway running alongside the property leading to a gated carport and continuing through to a detached garage, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles as well as excellent storage or workshop potential. Hillborough Drive remains one of Herne Bay's most sought-after residential addresses, particularly amongst families and retirees alike, thanks to its peaceful setting and excellent access to local amenities.

The property is conveniently positioned for highly regarded schools (including Ofsted Outstanding Reculver Primary School), local shops, regular bus routes and the seafront, whilst Herne Bay's town centre and mainline railway station, offering direct links to London, are both within easy reach.

Properties within Bishopstone, particularly those occupying plots of this size and offering such excellent scope for improvement, are seldom available for long, making this an exciting opportunity to create a truly exceptional long-term home in one of Herne Bay's premier locations.
