107 Dargate Road

This is a great opportunity to buy an equestrian property in a popular location - James Hickman, Rural Property & Land



#TheGardenOfEngland



NO CHAIN

A rural equestrian smallholding situated in an elevated and highly convenient location about 4 miles south of the popular seaside town of Whitstable and only 6 miles north of Canterbury. There are views of the sea across the Seasalter Levels from the garden and easy access to the M2/A2 and Faversham via the Thanet Way (A299).




The bungalow is understood to have been built in the late 1950’s and then extended in the 1960’s to add 2 main bedrooms and an ensuite bathroom. The bungalow would now benefit from some modernisation and there is strong potential to extend the property further or consider adding a first floor.

* The original property address was 105 & 107 Dargate Road and also known as Galle Lodge.
** Please note that the electric cooker, the fridge freezer and some of the curtains and poles are excluded from the sale. A copy of a completed Fixtures & Fittings form is available on request.

Special Note
The extension which is the eastern elevation was underpinned in 1997. A copy of the documentation is available on request. There have been no structural issues with the property since then, as far as the sellers are aware.

Outside & Stables

The property is approached over a gravel surface ’in/out’ entrance drive through 2 pairs of 5 bar gates with parking and access to the Double Garage. The front garden is mainly lawn with pretty birch trees, shrubs and a flat gravel area with pots and planters. Immediately to the rear of the bungalow is a large paved terrace with a loggia over, with further gravel area. Beside this is a Garden Shed & Store/Former Kennel. The lawn then rises up to a fish pond behind which is a small orchard with Apple (Eating & Cooking ), Pear and Plum trees, there are also Greengage, Sloe & Quince trees at the property. To one side of the orchard is a Studio/Store divided into 2 parts with an old Log Store beside it, on the other side are 2 stables, a Tack Room and a small dilapidated Hay Store.
