DESCRIPTION
A hidden gem in the heart of Hythe, Malthill Cottage is a particularly special property offering many unique qualities not least of all, wonderful views over Hythe, of the sea and to the coast of France on a clear day.
The property has been extensively improved for the current owners and exudes charm and character throughout. It enjoys light and airy accommodation which is of particularly comfortable proportions with every principal room facing south and enjoying the views to the sea. The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall with a pretty staircase to the first floor, a lovely sitting room with cosy open fire and double doors opening to the garden. The dining room also opens onto the garden and has a wood burning stove. There is a lovely kitchen leading to the inner hallway, cloakroom and utility room. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, the principal room with en-suite dressing room, shower room and a balcony from where views of the sea can be enjoyed. There is also a family bathroom and a separate W.C.
Unusually for this prime central location the house boasts off road parking for one vehicle, an EV charging point and a generous garage. Spanning the width of the house is a recently redone decked terrace, the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the views of the sea and ideal for alfresco entertaining. There is a manageable garden beyond laid largely to lawn.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
SITUATION
Hillside Street is situated within the desirable Conservation Area of the town, two roads back from the bustling High Street, with its range of interesting independent shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose), doctors' surgeries, dentists etc. The attractive, unspoilt seafront and picturesque Royal Military Canal are a short walk away together with a variety of sports and leisure facilities, including 2 golf courses, swimming pool, cricket, squash, bowls and lawn tennis clubs together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre with gym, spa and leisure centre.
The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a main line railway station in Saltwood (Sandling - 2 miles) and access to the M20 (Junction 11 - 4 miles). The High Speed Link rail service to Stratford and St Pancras is available from Folkestone West (5 miles) and Ashford International (10 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively.
