Originally a bungalow, the property has already undergone significant transformation with a thoughtful loft conversion, creating two additional bedrooms upstairs one with its own balcony and an en-suite. While the works remain unfinished, the vision is clear, and the opportunity is rare: to complete a bespoke home in one of Birchington's most sought-after settings.Take a Look InsideThe ground floor provides immediate comfort and versatility. A welcoming snug at the front, a main sitting room, and a conservatory offer multiple living spaces, complemented by a well-proportioned kitchen, separate utility, and a ground-floor bedroom with bathroom.Upstairs, the newly created accommodation is ready for finishing touches. Two double bedrooms have been formed, the principal complete with balcony access and an en-suite. New Velux windows, a fresh staircase, and replacement glazing are already in place; flooring, insulation, tiling, and final decorative works remain to be completed. Importantly, all sanitaryware and materials are included and on site, leaving the incoming buyer free to finish the property to their own style.The Outside StoryThe plot is exceptional. Extending to approximately 0.2 acres, the rear garden stretches far beyond the typical Birchington garden, offering outstanding scope for family life, entertaining, or even future landscaping projects. To the front, the generous driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles, with the benefit of side access.Planning permission has been granted for an extension across the back of the property, extending out 4 metres and featuring bifold doors that open out to the garden. This extension creates the new kitchen and dining area. There is also planning in place for a basement that matches the extension footprint.  The original kitchen area will be transformed into a new family bathroom, and the hallway will be extended from the front door all the way through to the new kitchen and living area. A new roof has been fitted, complete with solar panels. Work upstairs has also begun, continuing the theme of improvement and expansion.
