Bramling, Canterbury, Kent, CT3

It is very rare that you can come across such a unique property development opportunity. Located in 2.1 acres of grounds surrounded by impressive and mature specimen trees is a bungalow and a variety of outbuildings that are in effect a complete blank canvas just waiting for new owners to create something really special. The property is ideally situated midway between the villages of Littlebourne and Wingham and only a few miles from Canterbury.

While the origins of the bungalow may be lost in the mists of time it dates from a bygone era with its Kent peg tiled roof, fireplaces, high coved ceilings and even a couple of exposed beams. It is currently configured to include a living room, kitchen, bathroom, conservatory, two double bedrooms and a corridor leading to the stained glass front door. However it needs a complete renovation and could be re-created as an attractive country house, while the brick garage with its pitched roof could be converted into additional accommodation as could the other outbuildings, subject to the necessary permissions. The potential for the rest of the grounds is enormous as it might be possible to develop a campsite or build holiday cabins. Alternatively if you wanted to create a family home and develop ‘the good life' the grounds could become fields for goats, sheep and alpacas as well as vegetable gardens and/or paddocks for ponies and horses.

What the Owner says:

The property has been in our family for the past forty years and, although at some stage, I did think about converting the bungalow I never actually pursued it beyond initial discussions with the council and planning department. From the conversations I had it was understood that there would be no restrictions on extending the footprint of the property and developing the outbuildings and also it was intimated that it would be allowable to cut down much of the hedging bordering the road, which could provide easier access to and from the property. It is a very convenient spot as you can walk to the Haywain pub/restaurant for a drink and a meal so you don't need to drive or, if you want to go to Canterbury or Wingham on the bus, you just stand outside the gates and put your hand out and the bus will stop!
Littlebourne is a vibrant village with its convenience store, a good primary school, plenty of activities and a recreation ground that includes a children's playground, skateboarding, an outdoor gym and a BMX circuit. It is also home to the Littlebourne cricket club for those who enjoy the summer sound of leather on willow. It is not far from the Canterbury golf club, the Polo Sports club and the delightful Evenhill pub/restaurant. In the other direction I can be in Wingham with its pubs, restaurants, shops, Gibsons food hall/farm shop and a good primary school in a couple of minutes. If you want to entertain the youngsters it is not far to Howletts Wild Animal Park or the Win
