4 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Set within a 0.6846 of an acre plot, this distinguished four-bedroom detached bungalow blends architectural heritage with refined modern living. Originally built in 1810 and comprehensively rebuilt in 1986, it retains the original gable alongside a handcrafted replica, both displaying matching date stones that celebrate the home's lineage. A welcoming entrance hall introduces the spacious, elegant interior, flowing naturally into the principal living areas. At the heart of the home is the impressive double-aspect lounge/diner, crowned by a vaulted ceiling that fills the room with light. Solid hardwood internal doors enhance its sense of quality. The well-appointed kitchen is both practical and charming, offering a generous sociable space ideal for informal dining and family gatherings. The main bedroom includes an ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are versatile for family, guests or home workspace use. Externally, a vast driveway leads to a double-width, double-length garage with excellent storage and workshop potential. A standout feature is the detached games room, large enough for a full-size snooker table and ideal for leisure, hobbies or studio conversion. The fully functioning original well adds a rare touch of early 19th-century charm. This is a home of genuine distinction, where heritage, craftsmanship and lifestyle come together seamlessly. What the Owner says: Living on Hicks Forstal Road in Hoath offers a rare blend of tranquillity and convenience, a rural setting that still feels connected. Chosen for its privacy and timeless Kentish charm, it sits within rolling countryside just outside Canterbury, where mornings begin with birdsong and the quiet rhythm of village life. Tree-lined lanes, open farmland and a strong sense of space define this Kentish landscape. Despite its serenity, the area is exceptionally well connected. The A28 and A299 give swift access to Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable and the wider coast, while Canterbury's stations offer high-speed rail to London, creating a balance of seclusion and accessibility. Hoath is a welcoming village with a strong community. Everyday essentials are close by, with local shops, farm stores and larger supermarkets a short drive away. Canterbury adds boutiques, restaurants, cultural venues and its historic cathedral, along with excellent state and independent schooling options. For outdoor enthusiasts, opportunities are abundant. Footpaths lead straight from the doorstep through fields, woodland and nature reserves, while the coastline is close enough for beach trips, seafood in Whitstable or sunset walks along Herne Bay's promenade. Life here moves at a gentler pace yet remains full of possibility. Hicks Forstal Road is more than an address — it is a lifestyle, offering rural privacy, strong amenities and the cultural richness of Canterbury from a beautifully situated home.
