Stone Street, Petham, Canterbury

Occupying a wonderfully secluded position in a conservation area with breathtaking views across the Kent Downs National Landscape, this rarely available detached bungalow offers a unique opportunity to create an exceptional home in one of East Kent’s most special settings.

Set within substantial wraparound gardens, the property can be approached via a long private driveway and a track which is indicated by the hatched area on the aerial photograph. The property enjoys an extraordinary sense of peace, privacy, and space that is seldom found so close to the City. The plot extends to about 1 acre (0.4 ha) – subject to final measurement survey.

Originally constructed in the 1960s and extended over time, the bungalow now provides over 2,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation with enormous scope for modernisation, reconfiguration, and improvement.

While the property would benefit from updating throughout, the true appeal lies in the remarkable location and potential on offer. Whether transformed into a contemporary family home, adapted for multi-generational living, or redesigned to incorporate an annexe, this is a home that could become something truly outstanding.

The existing accommodation is both spacious and flexible. The main section of the bungalow currently comprises two double bedrooms, a sitting room, an open-plan kitchen/dining space, family bathroom, separate WC, and utility room. The extended part offers additional living accommodation including two bedrooms, another reception room, kitchen and dining room, lending itself to annexe accommodation, guest space, home working or space to create one larger property.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the property and create an idyllic backdrop with mature trees, expansive lawns, a small paddock, and endless possibilities for landscaping and outdoor entertaining.

The elevated position and uninterrupted outlook across the National Landscape further enhance the feeling of being tucked away in your own private retreat.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached bungalow in an exceptional location. With its unique setting, incredible versatility, and outstanding potential, this is a property ready to be reimagined.
