DESCRIPTION
This substantial family house is enviably situated in one of Hythe's premier locations from where it commands some magnificent sea views, in particular from the second floor principal bedroom suite. This family home offers circa 3872 sq ft of versatile and beautifully presented accommodation which has been considerably enhanced by a well considered extension to the rear enabling a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining/living space which has been designed to compliment a modern lifestyle and unite the house with the garden. This relatively contemporary space blends seamlessly with the rest of house which has been fortunate enough to have retained a wealth of original details throughout including ornamental plasterwork, joinery and fireplaces.
The accommodation includes a most welcoming entrance hall leading to two large reception rooms, one with an adjoining study (used as a play room), the open plan kitchen/dining/living space with adjacent conservatory and adjoining utility room. There are also shower and cloakrooms on the ground floor. There are four bedrooms, a bathroom and cloakroom on the first floor and the second floor is occupied by the principal suite with bedroom, dressing room, en-suite bathroom and a contemporary balcony from where stunning views of the sea can be enjoyed.
The property occupies a plot totalling approximately 0.4 of an acre with a frontage of some 90 feet to the road. There are generous gardens to the front and rear which are beautifully planted and offer a great deal of seclusion. There is also a double garage and ample parking.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
SITUATION
This unique property is situated in an exclusive location on Hillcrest Road from where a pedestrian walkway (Church Hill) leads down to North Road and in turn, the town centre. It is also a relatively level walk from the centre of Saltwood with its pretty village green, local shop, Michelin starred restaurant, pub, historic church and castle. There are two excellent primary schools within only a short walk and Brockhill Performing Arts College is only a little further. There are two highly regarded Grammar Schools in Folkestone with a regular bus service providing access to both.
Hythe is well served with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsbury & Aldi) and enjoys a vibrant High Street with its range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. There is a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including sailing, tennis, bowls, cricket and squash clubs etc. together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre and two golf courses. Commuting links are excellent with the motorway network (M20 Junction 11) 3 miles distant, main line railway station at Sandling 2 miles, the Channel Tunnel Terminal 4 miles, the ferry port of Dover 10 miles and Ashford International Passenger Station 12 miles. The High Speed Link is available from both Folkestone (5 miles) and Ashford (12 miles) with journey times to St Pancras of around 53 minutes and 38 minutes respectively (all times and distances are approximate).
