Canterbury Road, Etchinghill, Folkestone, Kent CT18

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.
