DESCRIPTION
Occupying a prime position on one of Hythe's most coveted addresses, this handsome detached house commands an enviable southerly panorama over Hythe, of the sea, to the coast of France and around the bay to Dungeness from all of the principal rooms.

The property, which appears to have been beautifully maintained by the owners, offers impeccably presented accommodation which is of particularly comfortable proportions totalling approximately 2909 square feet (plus the garage). This includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to the generous sitting room which leads to the dining room, both rooms opening into a lovely conservatory from where the stunning views can be enjoyed. The dining room also opens into the generously sized kitchen/breakfast room. A study, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a sleek modern bathroom, the principal room with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room fitted in a similar style to the bathroom. The second floor comprises an additional living space opening to a south/sea facing balcony, the fifth bedroom which is very large and could potentially be divided to create two rooms and a further bathroom.

To the front of the house there is a large block paved driveway providing ample parking and access to the detached double garage. To the rear the garden is a delight having been thoughtfully planted for year round interest. There is a lovely terrace providing the perfect vantage point in which to relax, dine alfresco and from where to truly appreciate the unrivalled views.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
