"Embrace the Possibilities: Your Perfect Renovation Project Awaits!"
This expansive property, formerly owned by Kent Police, presents an excellent development opportunity with four bedrooms and vast potential for refurbishment.
The house requires a complete overhaul but promises great earning potential, making it ideal for developers, buy-to-let investors or those seeking a spacious family home once renovations are complete.
Upon entering through a wooden door, you step into a hallway with original parquet flooring and a new radiator. To the left, you'll find a living room adorned with dual aspect double-glazed windows, one of which provides beautiful views into the garden. an open wood fireplace, and an exposed brickwork chimney.
Adjacent to the living room is a double bedroom, currently serving as a home gym. It features laminate flooring, a double-glazed window overlooking the rear, and the possibility of knocking through to create an even more extensive space or use as an additional bedroom.
The kitchen awaits transformation, with tiled wood effect flooring, two pantries with shelving and a window, a sink unit, and plumbing for a washing machine. The main kitchen area boasts double-glazed sliding patio doors, and while currently only equipped with base units, the space has a gas supply and an extractor vent. This is an ideal space to transform into a Kitchen/Diner and would make a great family hub.
Outside, the property boasts a 90ft garden with a patio area, lawn, and mature trees. A mid-garden patio, shed, and extensive garage/workshop area complete the outdoor space, accessible through side access and a convenient driveway with an up and over door (this will be completely empty), with additional parking spaces secured with a double gate.
The property offers additional convenience with a downstairs cloakroom and an additional ‘outhouse’ with an Ideal Boiler (7 years old) and ample storage units, all accessible either internally or externally through a double-glazed door at the front and a wooden door at the back. This could be converted into additional living space, or a would make an ideal home office.
A wooden staircase with a carpet runner leads to the landing, featuring a double-glazed window and exposed wooden floorboards. The master bedroom enjoys dual aspect views, built-in storage, wood-effect tiles, and two radiators. It even holds potential for conversion into a fourth bedroom by splitting the room into two smaller spaces or the potential to add an en-suite bathroom. This room has been re-plastered.
The second bedroom, with carpets and a double-glazed window, provides loft access which is partially boarded. Meanwhile, the third bedroom boasts wooden laminate flooring, a radiator, and ample storage space.
The family sized bathroom comes with a low-level WC, sink, bath with an overhead shower.

Additionally, the property has a partially boarded loft, providing valuable storage space. The property has also had cavity wall insulation throughout.
A generous driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, and the large front garden adds to the property's overall appeal.
Due to the size of the plot, this property would be the ideal choice for extension (subject to permission).
