Property description
Badgers Bridge is a delightful enclave of five large detached properties in the charming village of Etchinghill. This property is a spacious family home, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk into the entrance hall and see the attractive wood doors and staircase. The large lounge and family areas are light and bright with two sets of glazed sliding doors to the terrace that virtually surrounds the entire house. This fantastic space includes a log burning stove that gives off plenty of heat in the winter and has double doors to the dining room. When these are open it provides a great overall space for a party and in the summer friends and neighbours can spill out into the garden and enjoy barbecues and al fresco dining.
The fitted kitchen/breakfast room includes a recently installed double oven and induction hob as well as an unusually shaped breakfast bar and seating area with direct access to a pergola covered terrace area and is adjacent to a large utility room with an internal door to the garage. Just inside the front door is a study area with French doors to a separate courtyard style seating area so if you are working you can always wander outside to enjoy a breath of fresh air.
Off the large galleried landing there is the family shower room and five good sized bedrooms including the real ‘star of the show’ – the master suite. As you open the door into this colourful room with its vaulted ceiling, en suite shower and wardrobe you can really feel the ‘wow factor’. Outside, in addition to the wraparound patio, the secluded garden includes a large lawn with mature shrubs and trees as well as a separate guest car park area. This could be covered and become a car port if required. There is also an integral double garage and a large hard standing frontage providing plenty of off road parking.
What the Owner says:
This has been a wonderful home to bring up our family. We bought the house from new in 1993 when our three girls were getting to the age when they needed a bit more space. It is a very friendly, quiet and secure area and, because it is in a cul de sac, all the neighbourhood children can play safely. We have plenty of wonderful memories of our time here but circumstances are such that it is time for us to start a new chapter in our lives.
We love the surrounding countryside and Etchinghill is a warm and friendly village with lots of activities in the village hall including a regular film club and a village market that takes place on the first Saturday of every month as well as regular boot fairs at the Cricket Club. There is the excellent Etchinghill Golf Club with a restaurant only a minute’s walk away. If you want a drink or a meal the golf club also does a great Sunday carvery and The Gatekeeper Inn – promoted as the nearest pub/restaurant to the Channel Tunnel – provides a variety of good pub food.
It is very easy to get to the Continent and we are fairly central for Hythe, Canterbury, Ashford and Folkestone. For rail commuters the high speed train to London from Ashford International only takes 36 minutes to St Pancras. Sandling station is just a short distance and there are regular bus services to Folkestone with its excellent secondary schools and high street stores. The nearby Lyminge Primary school was considered Outstanding by Ofsted.
