DESCRIPTION
Lochwood enjoys a delightful setting within a small enclave of just three similar homes. The properties share a private bridge over a charming stream and a driveway, and are tucked just off the main road within easy, level walking distance of the Royal Military Canal and the High Street.

The property is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time since it was built in 1961 with the same family having lived there since. Whilst appearing to have been generally well maintained, it is fair to say that the property would now benefit from some general updating and improvement. It has been priced accordingly and offers considerable scope to create an exceptional home and is considered well worthy of any expenditure required.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a generous sitting room, dining room, kitchen with adjoining utility room, cloakroom, five bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room.

The gardens are a delight with lovely secluded seating areas, mature planting which has been carefully curated over the years to ensure year round interest, a workshop, a timber framed shed, summer house and an expanse of lawn. There is also a driveway providing off road parking and access to the integral garage.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.

SITUATION
Lochwood is well situated with only a short level walk from the town centre and close to bus routes. The town is well catered for with its 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsbury and Aldi), bustling high street with a diverse range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, doctors' surgeries and dentists etc. The attractive and unspoilt seafront is approximately 20 minutes' walk and the Royal Military Canal, with pleasant towpath is nearby. There is a wide variety of sporting and leisure facilities in the area including the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre, cricket, bowling and lawn tennis clubs, 2 golf courses and sailing club. There are two good primary schools in the vicinity and a Performing Arts School for ages 11 - 18. There are boys' and girls' grammar schools in Folkestone which are served by a free bus service from Hythe.

Hythe is very conveniently located for easy access to the M20, Channel Tunnel Terminal, ferry port of Dover, etc. Sandling main line railway station, approximately 2 miles away on the outskirts of Saltwood, offers regular commuter services to the City. (All distances are approximate). High Speed Link services to London, St Pancras are available at Folkestone West (with journey times of under an hour).
