Property Details

Sold STC - Hillside Street, Hythe, CT21 - £425,000

DESCRIPTION
This enchanting detached period cottage enjoys an idyllic situation on Hythe's picturesque lower hillside from where the house enjoys stunning views over Hythe and of the sea. The property offers attractively presented accommodation which is of particularly comfortable proportions and exudes charm and character with a wealth of original features throughout. The accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule leading to the charming kitchen beyond which is the dining room with its pretty fireplace and wood burning stove. The sitting room at the front of the house also enjoys a cosy woodburning stove. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, each enjoying views of the sea and a bathroom.

A particularly attractive feature of the property is the fact that it benefits off street parking on the driveway at the side of the house which is a rare commodity in this sought after area. Beyond this is a private courtyard leading to the main entrance and steps continue upwards to the secluded garden which provides attractive seating areas which are afforded a great deal of privacy by lush vegetation. At the top of the garden is a whimsical folly beyond which is an elevated decked terrace from where stunning views, over Hythe, of the sea and to the hills at Fairlight can be enjoyed.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.

SITUATION
Hillside Street is situated within the desirable Conservation Area of the town, two roads back from the bustling High Street, with its range of interesting shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsburys and Aldi), doctors' surgeries, etc.

The attractive, unspoilt seafront and picturesque Royal Military Canal are a short walk away together with a variety of sports and leisure facilities, including 2 golf courses, swimming pool, cricket, squash, bowls and lawn tennis clubs together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre.

The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a main line railway station in Saltwood (Sandling - 2 miles) and access to the M20 (Junction 11 - 4 miles). The High Speed Link rail service to Stratford and St Pancras is available from Folkestone West (5 miles) and Ashford International (10 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively. Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels also depart from the latter. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is just over 3 miles away and the ferry port of Dover 12 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
