Bower Road, Mersham, Ashford, TN25

A well proportioned bungalow with a good plot like this has become increasingly difficult to find in recent years. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A most delightful and greatly improved detached bungalow, situated within the heart of the charming village of Mersham, enjoying a prime position and set within generous grounds extending to approximately one third of an acre. Offering a blend of comfortable open-plan living spaces and three well-proportioned bedrooms, this home is ideal for those seeking the convenience of single-storey living without compromising on space.

No onward chain.

The property is presented in excellent order throughout, having been thoughtfully improved in recent years. Enhancements include tasteful redecoration, the external painting of the property, a newly fitted kitchen, as well as updated windows and doors. Additionally, a converted outbuilding in the garden now serves as a home office – perfect for those seeking a quiet, dedicated workspace.
Highlands is a timber-frame home originally supplied by Colt Houses, a respected local construction company established in 1919. Since its construction, the property has been significantly enhanced by previous owners. Notable upgrades include the installation of thicker wall insulation, repainting to timber cladding and the replacement of the original timber shingles with durable timber shiplap cladding.
Today, Highlands offers exciting potential for further expansion (subject to the necessary planning consents), ensuring the home can continue to evolve with your needs.
A recent independent Level 3 survey confirmed the quality of these upgrades and the ongoing maintenance carried out. The surveyor noted that the improvements have "moved it a long way on from the original Colt house when constructed" and concluded that "given the works undertaken to, in essence, change the property from the original build to what is now an upgraded timber-framed structure, mortgage lenders should be prepared to lend on the property."

The bungalow is ideally located just a short stroll from the village’s amenities, including the local store, pubs, and primary school, providing an idyllic setting for both family living and country life.
Outside, the property offers ample off-road parking to the front. The rear garden, a notable feature of the home, enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and is predominantly laid to lawn, with mature fencing ensuring a high degree of privacy. A raised decked terrace adjoins the property, creating an inviting space for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
This fine home offers both charm and potential in equal measure, and we anticipate strong interest in this sought-after location.
