Description
This historic Grade II Listed pub is one of the oldest buildings in the village dating back to 1595 and provides a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. The Gatekeeper was previously called the New Inn and originally consisted of two 15th Century cottages. The building was converted to a pub in the 18th Century.
LocationSet in the Kent Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty, the rural village of Etchinghill stands at the head of the beautiful Elham Valley.
Etchinghill itself has a highly regarded golf course and offers easy access to the nearby village of Lyminge. Hythe and the larger town of Folkestone are to the South (approximately 3.5 and 5 miles respectively) and to the North, the Cathedral City Of Canterbury (approximately 13 miles).
Ground floor entrance into the main bar area with central bar servery, circa 60 cover restaurant, customer toilets, fully equipped commercial kitchen with full extraction, pot wash area, walk-in chiller and dry storage areas. Beer cellar.

The OpportunityOur clients have lovingly owned the pub for many years and are now looking to retire.
