Features and Description
- Two Bedroom Detached Bungalow
- Garage with Off Road Parking
- Large Private Garden
- EPC Rating - E
Set back from the road and well screened by mature beech hedging, this detached two-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous 0.24-acre plot in the semi-rural village of Etchinghill.
The bungalow is currently arranged with two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen/living room, all presented in good condition. There is also a large garden room, requiring some final cosmetic internal finishing, and a separate cloakroom/WC ready for completion to a purchaser's own specification.
The property is approached via gates and benefits from extensive private parking to the front, together with an attached double garage. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with a good size shed and features a useful insulated GARDEN ROOM/HOME OFFICE with a small kitchenette, offering excellent additional space for working from home or hobbies.
A particular feature is the planning permission already granted for a substantial extension, under Folkestone & Hythe District Council reference 22/1134/FH. Footings for the proposed extension have already been commenced, offering a purchaser the opportunity to continue with the existing plans and significantly increase the accommodation, subject to the relevant consents.
With its generous plot, existing accommodation, excellent parking, double garage and significant potential for enlargement, this is an exciting opportunity to create a substantial and individual home in a desirable semi-rural setting.
Location
The property is situated in Etchinghill (CT18 8DF), a small semi-rural village surrounded by the attractive countryside of the Kent Downs. Despite its peaceful setting, Etchinghill is conveniently positioned for access to Folkestone, Hythe and Canterbury, while the coast and Channel Tunnel are also within easy reach.
The village itself has a strong community feel, with a village hall, recreational facilities and the popular The Gatekeeper, a historic village pub and restaurant situated on Canterbury Road. The area is also home to Etchinghill Golf Club, set amongst the surrounding countryside and offering excellent facilities for golfers.
The surrounding Kent Downs provide an abundance of opportunities for walking and enjoying the countryside, with the nearby Elham Valley particularly attractive for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.
For everyday amenities, the neighbouring villages and nearby towns provide a good range of shops, schools and services, with Folkestone and Hythe offering a wider choice of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. Canterbury is also accessible for its extensive range of amenities, cultural attractions and historic character.
The location therefore offers an appealing balance of rural surroundings and accessibility, making Etchinghill an attractive choice for those looking to enjoy a quieter village lifestyle while remaining within convenient reach of the coast, towns and wider transport links.
