We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
In my experience, it is rare to find a period home that offers such a natural flow of accommodation so well suited to entertaining.
-- Greg Wood, Director #TheGardenOfEngland An immensely charming and individual period home, boasting an abundance of original features together with spacious and beautifully presented accommodation, having benefitted from a significant programme of improvements in recent years.
Situated within the sought-after village of Etchinghill, the property forms one half of an original farmhouse, with parts believed to date from circa 1640.
Behind its traditional façade lies a home of considerable character and generous proportions, thoughtfully arranged with modern living and entertaining spaces at its heart.
A welcoming dining room reception greets you from the front entrance and leads through to a superb kitchen/dining room, complete with bi-fold doors opening onto one of three delightful gardens.
The walled garden provides a wonderfully private setting for al fresco dining, complemented by both front and rear cottage-style gardens offering a variety of seating areas to enjoy throughout the day.
Further features and recent improvements include: • Reconfigured accommodation creating larger and more impressive bedroom spaces, including an enhanced principal bedroom suite; the property was formerly arranged as four bedrooms.
• Upgraded heating system including a recently installed boiler (2019), new COLD water tank and heating header tank, replacement radiators and updated pipework.
• Refurbished kitchen with replacement units and integrated appliances. • Repaired and restored windows including replacement glazing where required, together with comprehensive redecoration.
• Upgraded door furniture. • Bespoke fitted storage to several bedrooms and throughout the house. • Newly insulated floors providing improved energy efficiency.
• Restored parquet flooring alongside a range of newly fitted floor coverings throughout. • Upgraded and remodelled bathroom suites.
• Ample parking provision including unrestricted parking and a private driveway. • Summerhouse providing useful additional storage. • Improvements to the electrical systems.
• Recently redecorated throughout and presented in excellent order. Situation Etchinghill is a village near the towns of Folkestone and Hythe and is part of the Shepway district.
It lies near the North Downs, offering picturesque views and beautiful undulating countryside.
Like many villages in Kent, Etchinghill retains a rural charm with its green fields, farms, and country lanes.
It provides a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of larger towns and cities.
One notable feature of Etchinghill is the presence of the popular Etchinghill Golf Club, with a driving range, three courses and bar/restaurant and shop.
While primarily rural, Etchinghill benefits from good transport links. It's close to major roads such as the M20, providing convenient access to nearby towns like Folkestone, Ashford, and Canterbury.
Additionally, Folkestone West railway station is within easy reach, as is Sandling Station, offering connections to London and other destinations.
Etchinghill is also only a couple of miles from the Eurotunnel (Le Shuttle) terminal.
Additional information Agents Note: The property is partially attached on a secondary elevation, specifically to part of the sitting room and one first-floor bedroom.
