DESCRIPTION
In a sought after location, seconds from the beach and a short level walk from Hythe town centre, a substantial period property enjoying views over the adjacent playing fields and of Hythe's pretty hillside.
The property requires extensive renovation however, with 2141 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors and a wealth of original features, has the potential to provide an exceptional home which prospective purchasers can enjoy tailoring to suit their own tastes and requirements. It is considered well worthy of the expenditure required and has been priced to reflect this.
The property, which is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to generous reception rooms with high ceilings and much original detail and a large kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining cloakroom/WC. There are six bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room over the first and second floor, some enjoying views to the front over the playing fields and to the rear, glimpses of the sea. There is a largely walled courtyard garden to the rear which enjoys a southerly aspect.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
