DESCRIPTION
Believed to have been built by Charliers, local developers held in high regard and still in existence today, an exceptionally well situated family house offering surprisingly spacious, light and airy accommodation which includes a welcoming hallway, generous sitting/dining room with a full wall of glazing overlooking and uniting the space with the garden beyond. There is also a generous kitchen and a cloakroom on the ground floor. The first floor enjoys two double bedrooms, one offering stunning views over Hythe and of the side, and a spacious bathroom, also with a separate shower.
The property would benefit from some general updating but offers the potential to create a particularly comfortable home. It has been priced to reflect the work required and is thought well worthy of any expenditure required.
The house has a lawned garden to the front and to the rear the garden benefits from a south westerly aspect. It incorporates an expanse of lawn and a generous paved terrace. There is also a garden shed. Nearby the property also benefits from a garage en-bloc.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
SITUATION
Harpswood Lane is a particularly sought after residential location betwixt the centre of Hythe and the Village Green at Saltwood with its well regarded public house, newsagents and popular restaurant. Hythe High Street is within reasonable walking distance with its range of interesting shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsbury and Aldi), doctors' and dentists' surgeries, etc. The attractive, unspoilt seafront and picturesque Royal Military Canal are only a little further and there are a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including 2 golf courses, cricket, bowls, squash and tennis clubs and the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre.
The property is also conveniently situated for access to St Augustines Primary School, Saltwood Primary School, Hythe Bay Primary School and Brockhill Park Performing Arts College. The larger town of Folkestone is 6 miles and the Cathedral City of Canterbury 16 miles.
The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a main line railway station in Saltwood (Sandling - 1.5 miles) and access to the M20 (Junction 11 - 3.5 miles). The High Speed Link rail service to Stratford and St Pancras is available from Folkestone West (6 miles) and Ashford International (12 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 around 4 miles away and the ferry port of Dover is 15 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
