This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully positioned, two double bedroom, detached bungalow, enjoying far-reaching views across the landscaped grounds of Kenwith Castle. The property is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Constructed by the well-regarded local developer Chichester Homes, Number 26 occupies a prime corner plot with convenient parking located opposite. The bungalow benefits from a generous, larger-than-average living room, featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing which floods the space with natural light and provides an attractive outlook across the grounds.

The accommodation is entered via a spacious reception hall, with underfloor heating. To the left, the impressive wrap-around sitting room flows seamlessly into the kitchen/dining room, creating a sociable open-plan layout, whilst retaining the flexibility to close off the kitchen if desired.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a comprehensive range of fitted units, ample worktop space and integrated appliances, making it ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. The adjoining dining area features double doors opening onto a decked terrace with newly installed railings, perfectly positioned to enjoy the private setting and views towards the lake.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from built-in storage and a modern en-suite bathroom. The second double bedroom offers excellent flexibility as an office / hobby space.

Completing the accommodation is a fully accessible wet room, fitted with a contemporary white suite. A large built-in cupboard provides space and plumbing for washing machine/dryer creating a practical utility area.


Overall, this well-presented bungalow combines privacy, outlook and thoughtful design, set within the sought-after surroundings of Kenwith Castle.

NB. The property is held on a 999-year lease, as confirmed within the negotiated contract papers.
Age Restriction: At least one occupier must be aged 65 years or over. An annual service charge is approx £3000 per annum. Some care is available on site through arrangement and there is a ‘Pavilion’ offering a small shop, café and meeting space for residents.
