Nestled near the heart of Saltwood, Fairlight House is within a short walk of local village amenities, the highly rated primary school and Brockhill Park Performing Arts College.
Saltwood is a vibrant Kentish village, known for its picturesque green, popular pub, community hall, and general store. For those seeking fine dining, the well loved Fox and Hide restaurant is a local favourite.

Property
Fairlight House is a spacious Edwardian home arranged over three floors with charming gardens and many original character features, including attractive fireplaces, high ceilings, original panel doors, and a balustraded staircase leading to the second floor. The property offers excellent potential for improvement and refurbishment and is available chain-free.
The ground floor features an entrance porch leading to a welcoming hallway with access to a ground floor cloakroom. There are two principal reception rooms at the front, one with an attractive bay window both offering sea views. The kitchen has been partially opened to create two distinct areas and would benefit from redesign and refitting. A large walk-in pantry and a rear vestibule provides separate access to the garden.
The first floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy sea views. This level also includes a wet room and a separate cloakroom.
The second floor features two attic bedrooms/option for home office working space and access to a large walk-in attic storage area.
Fairlight House presents an excellent opportunity to restore and enhance a beautiful period home in a desirable location.
Outside
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by a low stone wall, with off-road parking and access to a single garage. A side path leads to the front entrance and provides gated access to the rear garden. The garden also features flower borders and small trees.
The rear garden is a charming, generously sized space filled with birdsong. Immediately behind the house is a crazy-paved patio with a garden pond, three outbuildings/store rooms, and a timber garden shed. Beyond the patio, a further large lawn bordered by mature trees, flowering shrubs, and flower beds. A meandering path leads to a small lawned area at the rear boundary, where a quaint summer house completes this delightful outdoor space.
