4 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Extended and Immaculate Family Size Home Offering Surprising Accommodation and Fabulous Landscaped Gardens with Idyllic Views Over Horse Fields

Situation
This charming bungalow is set in the peaceful rural hamlet of Acrise, surrounded by open countryside with stunning far-reaching views. The location offers direct access to beautiful walks and bridle paths, ideal for those seeking a quiet lifestyle close to nature. Essential amenities can be found nearby in Densole (1.5 miles), which includes a Post Office/store, pub, and riding stables. The larger village of Hawkinge (3 miles) provides a wider range of services including schools, doctors and dental surgeries, supermarket, Tesco Express, and community facilities. Folkestone is just 6 miles to the south and offers high-speed rail links to London St Pancras in under an hour, as well as a full range of shops, leisure, and schooling options. Canterbury, with its historic cathedral, university, and vibrant city centre, lies approximately 13 miles to the north. Both are accessible by regular local bus services and by road via the M20 and A2. Acrise also has historical significance, with St Martin's Church, dating back to the 12th century, and the nearby Acrise Place, a 17th-century manor house.

The Property
This exceptional bungalow has been completely updated and improved throughout, now offering generous family-sized accommodation finished to a high standard in opulent surroundings.

An enclosed entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway, from which four well-proportioned double bedrooms can be accessed, along with a stylish bath/shower room. The current owners use Bedroom 4—located opposite the kitchen—as a formal dining room, demonstrating the versatility of the space. The beautifully appointed and extensive kitchen leads to a rear hallway, which provides access to a large utility room, a further shower room, and the outstanding sitting/dining room. This impressive space stretches across the rear of the property, with large windows framing views over the immaculate, landscaped gardens and the open paddocks beyond. This truly is a home that must be seen to be fully appreciated—surprising in both size and quality throughout.
