Balmoral Road, Kingsdown

Have you ever wanted to live in a lovely community by the sea, complete with spectacular indoor and outdoor space? Then this beautifully remodelled three-bedroom detached chalet bungalow should be at the top of your viewing list.

The present owners of this house have entirely modified the internal arrangement of the home, resulting in an open plan, modern style that effortlessly blends the indoors and outdoors.

The pleasant Entrance Hall on the Ground Floor connects all of the primary rooms. The full-width Kitchen Diner to the front receives natural light throughout the day from Double Windows and includes a built-in Media Unit, a variety of modern wall and base units and a Breakfast Bar/Island. The Lounge at the rear offers a peaceful refuge, with nearly full-width Tri-Fold doors leading into the Garden.

This is an excellent summer spot, bathed with sunlight and designed to create numerous seating places, all bordered by raised beds lined with established and mature flowers and shrubs. The side pedestrian entrance gate, as well as the detached garage, can be accessible from the garden. A convenient Shower Room completes the Ground Floor accommodation and has been constructed to accommodate additional utilities.

The Landing leads upstairs to three bedrooms, each with a 'Sharps' fitted wardrobe, as well as the Family Bathroom. Extra storage has been made under the eaves, ideal for seasonal items.

Externally, the generous side plot on which the Garage lies offers itself to additional development, with the possibility of adding an Annexe, extending the original building or changing the function to an Office, Study or Summerhouse subject to the relevant permissions being granted.

RENOVATIONS;

The roof was replaced circa. 2020, capping off extensive update of the property, including the electrical wiring and plumbing systems. We understand that new UPVC double glazing was installed throughout in 2021.

PLANNING PERMISSIONS;

Labram Holmes also understands that there is current permissions in place for the erection of a porch to the side, and a single storey full width addition to the rear aspect.

LOCATION;

Kingsdown has various local public footpaths and is located on both the Saxon Shore Way and the White Cliffs Country Trail. National Cycle Route 1's Cliffs and Castles route passes through Kingsdown on its journey from Dover to Sandwich. A level, purpose-built cycleway runs north from the village's outskirts along the seashore to Deal.

A former fishing community with charm and character that provides a variety of recreational activities, the village has a range of businesses and amenities, including a newsagent/post office, butcher, three highly recommended public houses, the Church of St Johns, and a primary school (certified exceptional by Ofsted). Water sports and fishing are popular recreational activities, as is the Kingsdown Golf Course. Three other Champion golf courses are nearby, including Royal St Georges in Sandwich, which hosted the British Open. The historic seaside town of Deal is a scenic walk away, taking in Walmer Beach en route, and boasts a decent choice of shopping and leisure amenities while retaining much of its past nautical flavour. Dover, with its docks and cross-Channel services, is seven miles away and provides quick access to the Continent as well as London St Pancras via the Rail Link. Travelling from nearby Walmer (about 2 miles) takes only 1 hour and 15 minutes. There is also a fast train service from Deal.
