Blackhouse Rise is situated on
the hillside to the north-east of the ancient Cinque Ports Town of Hythe and
is approximately a mile from the busy High Street, 3 supermarkets (including
Waitrose), range of independent shops and restaurants, together with a
variety of sports and leisure facilities, including 2 golf courses (one only
a short walk away) and the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre. The open
countryside is accessible for walkers directly from the property. There are
a number of clubs and societies in the town for anyone who likes to be
involved in the community and a monthly farmers’ market with a selection of
local produce.
The area is fortunate in
having particularly good communications as there is a main line railway
station and access points for the M20 motorway (Junctions 11 and 12) only 2
miles away, making it possible to reach Central London within about 1½ hours
by both road and rail. In addition, there will be a new high speed rail
link (50 minutes) to St Pancras in 2009. The Channel Tunnel Terminal
entrance, with regular shuttle services to the Continent, is only just over
a mile away and Ashford International Passenger Terminal with regular
Eurostar services to Paris & Brussels (both 2 hours) is only 20 minutes by
car. The ferry port of Dover is 12 miles away. (All distances are
approximate).
DESCRIPTION
This detached bungalow is situated in a cul-de-sac of
similar properties, built in the 1960s to an unusual ‘Y’-shaped design in
order to take advantage of the views and sunny aspect. The property has
been updated by the present owners and is attractively presented with a
wonderful spacious reception room and adjacent conservatory, both enjoying a
pleasant vista over the extensive terrace and beautifully landscaped
gardens. The kitchen is well fitted, there is a separate utility room and
also a dining room that could also be used as a 3rd bedroom, if
required.
There is parking for 3-4 cars on the driveway at the
front and a useful double length car port at the side that could be
converted to a garage, or further accommodation, subject to the necessary
permissions.
