DESCRIPTION
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a single storey dwelling occupying a generous plot approaching one acre in total in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The bungalow has suffered a prolonged period of neglect, an element of structural damage and some dubious DIY projects. It is fair to say that it does now require an extensive programme of repair and refurbishment however, given the unique setting and the stunning panorama over open countryside which it enjoys, the property is considered well worthy of the expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.

The property offers comfortably proportioned accommodation with two reception rooms and two bedrooms on a generous footprint. It also presents a potential opportunity for redevelopment in its entirety subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained.

The setting is delightful being surrounded by open countryside with just one neighbouring property to the left. The land slopes upwards to the rear is laid largely to lawn. There is a generous driveway to the front providing ample parking. There are also a couple of outbuildings and two caravans (one on its side). The property is sold as seen.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.

SITUATION
Fair View is on the outskirts of the pretty village of Postling which is situated at the edge of the North Downs and at the foot of the Elham Valley within idyllic countryside which is classed as an area of outstanding natural beauty. The property is conveniently situated for access to Hythe (approximately 3.5 miles distant) and Lyminge (approximately 2 miles distant).

Lyminge is a well served village with local shops, surgeries, library and well regarded primary school. Hythe enjoys a bustling High Street, with its range of interesting shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose), doctors' surgeries, etc., an attractive, unspoilt seafront, the picturesque Royal Military Canal and a variety of sports and leisure facilities including 2 golf courses and the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre. The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a main line railway station in Saltwood (Sandling - 3 miles) and access to the M20, junction 11. The High Speed Link rail service to Stratford and St Pancras is available from Folkestone West (5 miles) and Ashford International (12.5 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is around 3 miles away the ferry port of Dover is 12 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
