6 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Hythe, CT21 4PE £2,250,000

Harry’s Cottage
Harry’s Cottage is accessed via a gravel path and is believed to date back to the 13th century. The cottage has part tile hung, part ragstone, timber and brick elevations under a Kent peg tiled roof. The reception room has an inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove with bressumer beam over and a tiled floor. The kitchen offers a range of storage cupboards with integrated appliances and a walk in cupboard with space for a fridge freezer. There are also two bedrooms, one with a vaulted ceiling and a bathroom.

Gardens and Grounds
The grounds are mainly grass with well stocked mature borders including roses, hydrangeas and ceanothus with mature hedges and ragstone walls providing a screen for the covered swimming pool. A gravel drive links all three properties.

There are paths meandering through the gardens leading to a greenhouse of aluminium construction, and a ragstone double garage. Behind the converted barn are three unconverted open bays. The land falls away to a mini golf course with two tees and two bunkers. A man made lake flanked by weeping willow trees provides a haven for wildlife and a perfect place to relax and look back up to the impressive main house. There is also a delightful garden when approaching Coldharbour House which is interspersed with mature trees.
