Strakers Hill, East Studdal

Hillcrest is a deceptively spacious detached bungalow, which provides flexible accommodation offering four good sized bedrooms and kitchen/dining room overlooking the well cared for garden. The home incorporates a one-bedroom self-contained annexe, and is situated in a semi-rural location with views over open countryside.

The well presented accommodation offers entrance porch with access to hall leading to the master bedroom, with views over open fields, sitting room with brick fireplace and log burning stove, and fourth bedroom, which is currently used as a study/dressing room. This dual aspect room includes a range of built in wardrobes with lots of hanging space, drawers and shelves. An inner hall leads to two further double bedrooms, the family bathroom, and separate fully tiled shower room, with large towel radiator and underfloor heating. The kitchen/dining room looks out on the rear garden and offers a fitted kitchen with a range of wall and base units with built in oven, hob and dishwasher, and spaces for additional appliances. In addition, there is underfloor heating, French doors leading to the striking garden and a lockable connecting door to the annexe.

The self-contained annexe makes the perfect place for extended family and multigenerational living, a brilliant Airbnb or even a home office/studio. It has its own front door and hallway, and offers a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, vaulted ceiling with oak beams and electric rain sensing Velux window providing extra light. There is a modern, fully tiled, en suite shower room with fitted storage, Aqualisa digital shower and heated mirror.

The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a range of flower and shrub borders and lovely rural views, there is a useful log store. The well-tended rear garden offers a level, private plot largely laid to lawn with a variety of mature flower and shrub borders, providing colour throughout the season.

East Studdal is a quiet rural village located approximately 3 miles south of the coastal town of Deal which has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town. There are several local golf courses, Royal Cinque Ports at Deal, Princes and Royal St Georges (venue of the British Open) at nearby Sandwich and also at Kingsdown. Other leisure facilities include the obvious water-related pastimes, squash club, rowing club, tennis, croquet and sailing clubs at nearby Walmer. The busy Channel Port of Dover and the Tunnel at Folkestone are within easy reach offering the added benefit of regular access to the Continent. There is also a fast train service from Dover (to London St Pancras approx. 1hr 5 mins), regular trains from nearby Martin Mill (to London St Pancras approx. 1hr 15 mins) and from Shepherdswell (to London Victoria).
