Set in the heart of Etchinghill, this mid-terrace period cottage combines traditional charm with practical living space for a small family. The ground floor offers a large kitchen/breakfast room and an adjoining living/dining room, creating a helpful social hub for everyday life. A long rear garden with mature borders extends the living space outdoors and catches afternoon sun.
Upstairs you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, plus a versatile top-floor room currently used as a studio or office. The attic room adds flexibility for a home office, hobby space or occasional guest use, making the layout adaptable as family needs change. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C provide reasonable energy performance for a house of this age.
The property is a genuine period home with exposed brickwork and chimney stacks that enhance its village character. It sits close to local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and countryside walking routes — an appealing location for families seeking a rural village lifestyle with transport links to Folkestone.
Practical considerations: the property dates from the 1930–1949 era and has cavity walls assumed to have no additional insulation; further insulation work could improve comfort and running costs. The living room has a lower-than-average ceiling height and compact proportions, and outdoor parking is limited to a single front space. Local crime levels are reported above average, which buyers should note when comparing neighbourhoods.
