Dunwurkin, Cranbrook

Offering a wonderful combination of character, generous accommodation, beautiful gardens and scope for further enhancement, Dunwurkin is a property with a truly special feel and benefits from No onward chain.
Kilndown is a particularly sought-after rural hamlet, renowned not only for its attractive surroundings but also for its strong sense of community and wonderful spirit. The property enjoys a peaceful position within this charming setting, with the delightful rear garden providing a lovely outlook towards Kilndown Church, creating a picturesque backdrop that can be enjoyed from a number of areas of the garden.
Dunwurkin is a beautifully presented and generously proportioned detached three bedroom bungalow dating from the 1970s, with attractive brick and rendered elevations beneath a pitched tiled roof. The use of reclaimed materials, including exposed oak beams, adds warmth and individuality, with a mix of single and double glazed windows and giving the property considerably more character than might typically be expected of a bungalow of this era.
The accommodation is arranged entirely on a ground floor level and begins with a welcoming and spacious entrance hall, leading into the heart of the home, an impressive newly fitted open-plan kitchen/dining room. Stylishly appointed with contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and wine cooler, this is a sociable and versatile space, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The 17'0 double-aspect sitting room is particularly appealing, featuring beautiful parquet flooring and a fireplace housing a log-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point. There are two excellent double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, together with a third bedroom which could equally be utilised as a study or home office. A useful utility room, well-appointed family bathroom and separate bath/shower room complete the accommodation.
Outside, the property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles, leading to a detached double garage. Gated access to both sides of the property leads through to the exceptional rear garden.
The south-west facing garden is a real highlight, being mature, private and beautifully well stocked with an abundance of established plants, shrubs and flowering borders. There are areas of lawn which wraps around the property, decking and patio, creating a variety of spaces in which to sit, dine and enjoy the garden throughout the day. A greenhouse provides further appeal for keen gardeners, while the view towards the church adds an especially charming and quintessentially English quality to the setting.
Properties such as Dunwurkin rarely come to the market. Its combination of detached single-storey living, generous plot, established south-west facing gardens, attractive views, excellent parking and potential for enhancement, together with the unique community atmosphere of Kilndown, makes this a particularly appealing and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a home in this beautiful part of the Weald.
