DESCRIPTION
In a prime residential location on the cusp of the sought after village of Saltwood, yet within reasonable walking distance of Hythe, this enchanting detached family house occupies a particularly generous plot totalling a little in excess of 0.4 of an acre with a frontage of circa 170 feet to one of the area's most desirable roads.
Woodlands has been a cherished family home for over 60 years and it is fair to say that the property now requires general updating and improvement but, with comfortably proportioned accommodation totalling approximately 1618 sq ft, offers the potential to create an exceptional home tailored to suit the purchasers own tastes and requirements. It is considered well worthy of the expenditure required and has been priced accordingly. There is also considerable scope to extend (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained), should additional space be required. The accommodation currently comprises a welcoming entrance hall which is open plan to the dining room and leads to the generous sitting room with its striking original fireplace and adjoining playroom/office. Beyond this is the sun room. There is a kitchen, utility and cloakroom to the rear. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, a bathroom and separate W.C.
The gardens encompass the property to three sides with a generous driveway providing ample off road parking, wide expanses of lawn and a variety of mature trees. There may also be the potential to further develop the site with an additional dwelling (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained).
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
