Property Description: Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000. This beautiful 1930s bungalow is located in the tranquil village of Mersham, nestled within Kent's countryside behind a picturesque white picket fence.

This wonderful detached property and the almost 0.8 acres of land that it sits on, have both been extremely well maintained with time and care over the years. Decorated and refurbished with neutral tones throughout, this lovely home is ready for its new owners to move straight in and enjoy the surroundings. Saying that, this bungalow also has fantastic flexibility within and could even have part of the house converted to an income generating AirBnB opportunity or a self contained annexe, subject to usual consents.

There is an oak centre island and integrated appliances that include; a full height fridge, a dishwasher, an eye level double oven and a ceramic hob with an extractor hood above. Plus there is a solid fuel Rayburn and a pantry. There is a separate utility room which has more storage units, a butler sink and plumbing and space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The kitchen leads through to the spacious dining room which has double French doors that open out to a private secret garden area.
To the front of the house the sitting room is beautifully lit by the two large windows and has an original fire set within an exposed brick fireplace while the living room is located at the back of the house and has plenty of space. Both studies are at the centre of the house and, with the property benefitting from superfast broadband, are perfect for those that have more than one requiring a work from home space.
Along the west side and the rear of the bungalow, there are five double bedrooms, all have either built in or fitted wardrobes for convenient storage and all of the bedrooms look out over the lovely surrounding grounds.
