For those looking for a property to put their own stamp on or are searching for development potential this three bedroom detached bungalow on a substantial plot is a must see. Inside the bungalow is off an L shaped configuration which would lend itself to a further extension (planning permission permitted) squaring off the back corner making a large kitchen/living space backing on to the large garden. There is also the potential to add several bedrooms and a bathroom in the loft space making this a vast family home. As is currently with just renovation the property offers two/three bedrooms dependant on personal taste and also offers an open plan kitchen diner with additional room leading to the garden. Properties in this sought after location just a short stroll from Folkestone West Train Station and many local amenities are historically in high demand so early viewing here comes recommended.
