DESCRIPTION
Enviably situated on Hythe's picturesque hillside from where it commands a magnificent vista of Hythe, with views of the sea and around the bay to Dungeness, this charming detached Edwardian house offers deceptively spacious accommodation of elegant proportions and totalling circa 2913 square feet. Having been in the same ownership for many years, it is fair to say that it does now require repair and refurbishment however, it now provides an exciting opportunity for purchasers to tailor a property to suit their own tastes and requirements and to create a truly exceptional home. The house is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.

The accommodation, which displays a wealth of originality throughout, comprises an impressive entrance hall leading to three particularly spacious reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room, utility/work room and a cloakroom. The first floor galleried landing leads to five bedrooms, the principal room with en-suite dressing/bathroom, and a shower room.

The house occupies a generous plot with a pretty garden, garage and ample parking to the front and a secluded tiered garden to the rear.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.

SITUATION
North Road is viewed as being one of Hythe's most desirable locations being high enough up the hill to benefit from lovely views over the town and of the sea, yet remaining within a short walk of the bustling High Street, with its range of interesting shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsburys & Aldi), doctors' 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 and the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre, cricket, squash and bowls clubs etc. Schools are also excellent with Hythe Bay C of E Primary, Saltwood C of E Primary, St Augustines Catholic Primary & Brockhill Park Performing Arts College all being accessible.

The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a main line railway station in Saltwood (Sandling - 3 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. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is around 3 miles away and the ferry port of Dover is 12 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
