Set along the ever popular City Way in Rochester, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a rare amount of space, flexibility and future potential, with just under 2,000 sq ft of accommodation and outbuildings to enjoy. From the moment you arrive, the generous frontage, private driveway and garage give the property an immediate sense of presence, while inside the layout has been designed to feel both practical and welcoming.

An entrance porch opens into a central hallway, with the three bedrooms neatly arranged at the front of the home, creating a natural and well-balanced flow. The principal bedroom is a comfortable and inviting space with built-in wardrobes and the added benefit of its own en suite shower room, giving it a private feel away from the main living areas. The remaining two bedrooms are both well proportioned, ideal for family, guests, a dressing room or a home office, depending on how you choose to live. A separate family bathroom serves the rest of the property and has been stylishly finished, offering a fresh and modern space for everyday use.

Moving through the bungalow, the home opens up beautifully into a spacious lounge and dining room, a sociable, light-filled area that feels made for both relaxed evenings and larger gatherings. There is a lovely sense of connection here, with the dining area flowing into the lounge and the rear outlook drawing your eye straight towards the garden. Large doors open onto the terrace, allowing the outside in during the warmer months, while air conditioning in the lounge adds an extra level of comfort all year round. It is easy to imagine summer lunches spilling out onto the patio, family celebrations around the table, or quiet evenings spent looking out over the greenery beyond.

The kitchen sits separately, giving plenty of workspace and storage, with windows on more than one side bringing in natural light and garden views. Just off the kitchen is a utility room, keeping the day-to-day practicalities tucked away, and beyond this there is a further side utility area and workshop. This part of the house adds a huge amount of versatility, linking through to the garage and creating real scope for anyone who wants more than just a standard bungalow layout. Whether you are looking for extra storage, hobby space, a work from home set-up, or exploring the possibility of extending into the garage and side areas, there is genuine opportunity here, subject to the necessary permissions.

Another exciting feature is the large loft space, which has excellent head height and offers yet more potential for a loft conversion, subject to planning permission. For buyers thinking ahead, this is a home that can adapt with changing needs, giving you the chance to enjoy the space immediately while also considering what it could become in the future. The combi boiler is also located in the loft, a clever touch that frees up valuable storage space within the main living accommodation.

To the rear, the garden is a real highlight. Extending to around 120 feet and enjoying a westerly aspect, it offers a wonderful sense of depth, privacy and afternoon sun. The lawn stretches out between established planting and mature trees, creating a calm, open setting that feels far removed from the pace of daily life. There is side access, plenty of room for children to play, space for keen gardeners to really make the most of, and a selection of substantial outbuildings that open up all kinds of possibilities. These could continue to serve as practical storage and workshop space, or be reimagined over time as a home office, garden room, gym, summer house, playroom or creative studio. For buyers with vision, this outside space is every bit as exciting as the bungalow itself.

City Way remains one of Rochester’s most sought-after roads for good reason. It places you within easy reach of highly regarded schools, while Rochester High Street and the high-speed station are approximately 1.2 miles away, making it simple to enjoy the town’s restaurants, independent shops, historic character and fast links for commuting. This is a location that combines convenience with a strong sense of community, and a home that offers the space to settle straight into while still leaving room to grow.

Properties like this are hard to find, a detached bungalow with generous proportions, a west-facing garden, excellent parking, useful outbuildings and so much future potential, all in one of Rochester’s most desirable positions. It is a home that works beautifully now, while also offering buyers the chance to shape something truly special over time.
