DESCRIPTION
This handsome double fronted link detached Victorian Villa is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time since it was purchased in 1975. Whilst some improvements have been made over the years, not least of all the recovering of the roofs, it is fair to say that Malvern Villa does now require a programme of refurbishment. However, with a wealth of original features and generously proportioned accommodation, the property offers the potential to create an exceptional home tailored to suit the new owners own tastes and requirements, is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.
The versatile accommodation is currently arranged to provide a welcoming entrance hall leading to the sitting room which spans the full depth of the property, the dining room, a breakfast room beyond which is the kitchen, adjoining utility area and a shower room. There is also a conservatory. The first floor comprises an elegant landing leading to three double bedrooms, a cloakroom and to the study. Beyond the study is the bathroom leading to an inner hallway with a secondary staircase returning to the kitchen and beyond which is the fourth bedroom.
To the front of the house the pretty garden is divided by a lovely original encaustic tiled pathway and side access can be gained to the rear garden which is walled, enjoys a westerly aspect and incorporates a couple of outbuildings.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
SITUATION
Albert Road is a particularly sought after residential location, on level ground, to the south of the Royal Military Canal, moments from the seafront (where one can dine alfresco at The Lazy Shack on Fisherman's Beach or in style at The Waterfront Restaurant) and a short, level walk from the busy High Street with its range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. The town also benefits from having 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Aldi and Sainsburys), There is a selection of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including tennis, bowls, water sports, cricket, bowls and squash clubs etc. as well as The Hotel Imperial Leisure Complex and two golf courses. The property is also a short walk from Hythe Bay Primary School with other educational facilities nearby and boy's and girl's grammar schools in Folkestone. The larger town of Folkestone is 5 miles and the Cathedral City of Canterbury 15 miles.
The area is convenient for communication to London and the Continent with the M20 motorway (Junction 11) 2½ miles distant, the Channel Tunnel Terminal 3 miles and a mainline railway station at Saltwood just over 2 miles away. High Speed trains to London St Pancras are available from both Ashford (10 miles) and Folkestone (Central and West). (All distances are approximate.)
