Description

Set within the sought-after village of High Halstow, on Buckhole Farm Road, this beautifully reimagined detached bungalow offers an exceptional balance of architectural quality, sustainability and refined contemporary living. Originally dating from the 1970s, the property has been comprehensively extended and upgraded, almost doubling its original footprint, to create a versatile and well-considered home of approximately 2,664 sq ft.

The renovation has been undertaken with a clear emphasis on longevity and efficiency, incorporating a warm roof construction, eco and internal wall insulation, recycled eco cladding and a breathable membrane system, resulting in a home that is both energy-conscious and exceptionally comfortable throughout the seasons.

The internal accommodation is generous and adaptable, arranged to suit a variety of modern living requirements. There are two reception rooms, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering flexibility for family living, home working or multigenerational use, all presented in a calm, contemporary palette.

Outside, the property is complemented by a fully enclosed, dog-friendly garden, thoughtfully landscaped with an array of fruit trees, established shrubs and planting, providing a high degree of privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding countryside. A powered bar creates an inviting focal point for outdoor entertaining and relaxed summer evenings.

Further benefits include off-road parking for up to six vehicles. High Halstow itself is a well-regarded village offering a strong sense of community, while remaining conveniently positioned for Rochester, local amenities and transport connections.
