A characterful period house set within extensive grounds, conveniently located on the rural edge of Brenchley, together with a covered pool building and a substantial outbuilding.
Echoes is a charming unlisted period property dating back in part to circa 1652 and nestled in an idyllic tucked away position on the edge of the village. The property is set within extensive grounds of about 2.4 acres in all, together with a covered pool building and a further substantial outbuilding.
The house is full of character with many period features, including wall and ceiling beams, fireplaces and drop latch doors. These sit delightfully alongside stylish fixtures and fittings, including a contemporary-style fitted kitchen with a Rayburn cooker, open plan to a light-filled conservatory/dining room extension to the rear with wood flooring, underfloor heating and a wood burning stove, and enjoying a lovely outlook over the grounds through picture windows.
There are two further reception rooms comprising a sitting room and a cosy snug. Four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms area arranged over the top two floors, all enjoying an attractive rural outlook.
The grounds are a major feature here, extending to about 2.4 acres in all and offering a wonderful opportunity for those aspiring to have space for rural hobbies, or to use as a small holding. There are several different areas including a cottage garden to the front, a stream running along the western boundary, a well stocked orchard, mixed woodland, many established trees and swathes of wild flowers in the spring.
The pool building is cited on the eastern side, accessed via paths from the house and comprising a 16'x32' former outdoor pool which has been enclosed for year-round use. There is a further outbuilding towards the end of the plot, providing useful additional space.
Our clients have made several energy efficient improvements, including the fitting of solar PV panels to the pool building, as well as installing three separate air source heat pump systems, two of which provide central heating to the house, and the outbuilding, the third is to heat the swimming pool.
Echoes is set back from the lane with a gated front entrance leading to a large parking and turning area and a garage with a 7.2kW electric car charger on the side.

There's more to see here than just this super cottage, with significant outbuildings and a fair amount of land, so interesting potential for sure.
