Property descriptiona refined, thoughtfully updated bungalow offering modern comfort in a prime Whitstable setting.

The exterior has been thoughtfully updated in recent years, featuring fresh render, smart cladding and a newly tiled footpath, giving the property crisp kerb appeal from the moment you arrive. With a single garage and driveway parking to the side, the plot offers a lovely balance of space.

Inside, the entrance hallway sets the tone, a bright, inviting and well-planned space, with handy storage cupboards and access to all principal rooms. Each of the three generously sized bedrooms offers comfortable proportions and flexibility for family living, guests or a dedicated workspace. The family bathroom sits centrally, serving the home with modern convenience.

The heart of the property is the impressive semi open-plan lounge/diner, a superb social space that flows naturally through to the kitchen. The lounge is bathed in natural light thanks to bi-fold doors that open directly onto the raised decking area, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection ideal for entertaining or relaxing.

The decking overlooks a well-established rear garden, with a lawn framed by mature plants and trees, offering privacy and a sense of calm. The garden wraps around to the side, leading to the garage, adding practicality to the charm.
