Crete Road West, Folkestone CT18

Set within the breathtaking Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this superb three-bedroom detached bungalow on Crete Road West offers the best of countryside living. Rarely available and highly sought-after, Crete Road West is known for its peaceful setting, generous plots and stunning natural surroundings, making this a unique opportunity for buyers seeking space, privacy, and connection to nature, all within easy reach of Folkestone's amenities.

The property occupies a generous plot of over 0.6 acres, featuring beautifully maintained gardens with mature trees, sculpted flower beds, and a wide decked area running along the rear of the home, perfect for relaxing or entertaining while soaking up the views. The bungalow is set well back from the road behind a gated driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, and a large, low-maintenance front garden. The south-facing front porch—with double-glazed sliding doors, French doors, and a tiled floor—creates a sunlit additional seating area.

Internally, the home has been updated to a high standard throughout. The welcoming hallway leads into a bright and spacious living room, with a dual fuel log burner, tasteful décor, and bi-fold doors that open directly onto the rear decking—blending indoor and outdoor living effortlessly. Wood-effect tiled flooring runs through this space and into the hallway, enhancing the sense of flow.

The kitchen is both modern and practical, fitted with sleek handleless cabinets, granite worktops, and integrated Bosch and Stoves appliances, including an induction hob, oven, extractor, dishwasher and washing machine. The four-piece bathroom features a large walk-in shower, separate bath, floating vanity unit, and high-quality tiling.

There are three bedrooms in total, —two generous doubles and a good-sized single—offering flexibility for families, couples, or those needing home office space. The current owners use one of the bedrooms as a separate formal dining room. Above, a large loft provides exciting potential for conversion (subject to necessary permissions), adding future scope for expansion.

Externally, the property's full potential really shines. Alongside the beautiful rear garden, there is a brick-built stable to the rear, a large garage, a spacious workshop, and dog kennels—ideal for animal lovers, hobbyists, or those running a home business. Additionally, there is a large standing area, designed for a caravan or motorhome, making this property an excellent choice for travel enthusiasts. Within the lawn is a raised electric hook-up for extra guests to pitch up and enjoy a comfortable stay.

Not only is this home in an idyllic setting, but it is also perfectly placed for access to key transport routes.

The M20 motorway and Eurotunnel terminal are also close by, making international travel easy. The surrounding area offers a wealth of walking trails and cycle routes, including sections of the famous North Downs Way, just steps from your front gate.
