DESCRIPTION
Marjorome is an enchanting property the design of which has been influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement and exudes charm and character throughout. The house is approached via a private lane serving just four properties and occupies a delightfully secluded plot totalling a little over half of an acre from where it commands a magnificent south westerly vista with views over Hythe and of the sea.
The property would now benefit from some general updating but has the potential to provide a comfortable home with well proportioned accommodation comprising a welcoming reception hall leading to a generous sitting room with double doors to the conservatory from where the delightful views can be enjoyed. There is a generous kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga, utility room, cloakroom and a study (which could double as a fourth bedroom. On the first floor the pretty landing leads to three bedrooms, the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, a separate shower room and a box room.
The mature gardens provide an idyllic and delightfully secluded setting encompassing the house to all sides and which has been thoughtfully planted for year round interest. There is a generous driveway providing ample off street parking and access to the detached double garage and workshop.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
