DESCRIPTION
In a sought after location, seconds from the beach and a short level walk from Hythe town centre, a substantial period property enjoying views over the adjacent playing fields and of Hythe's pretty hillside to the front and views of the sea to the rear.
The property exudes charm and character throughout with a wealth of original details including joinery and plasterwork enhanced by a sympathetic colour palette chosen by the current owners. The accommodation, which totals circa 2018 sq ft, is arranged over three floors and comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the dining room which is open plan to the sitting room with its cosy wood burning stove and wonderful views over the playing fields. The well equipped kitchen/breakfast room is of a generous size and leads to the garden room beyond which is a utility room and workshop. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor. The first and second floors comprise five bedrooms and smartly fitted bath and shower rooms. Two of the bedrooms enjoy views of the sea between buildings.
There is a shallow courtyard garden to the rear of the property which also benefits from rear access. This is a low maintenance space and whilst there is no lawn to mow, there is acres of open space on the playing fields opposite the house and wide expanses of shingle beach to the rear.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.

South Road is a particularly sought after residential location, on level ground, to the south of the Royal Military Canal and just one road back from the unspoilt seafront of this ancient Cinque Ports Town with its long stretches of shingle beach and where one can dine alfresco at The Lazy Shack on Fisherman's Beach or in style at The Waterfront Restaurant. The busy High Street with its range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants, is just a short walk away. The town also benefits from having 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Aldi and Sainsburys), There is a selection of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including tennis, bowls, water sports, cricket, bowls and squash clubs etc as well as The Hotel Imperial Leisure Complex and two golf courses. The property is also a short walk from Hythe Bay Primary School with other educational facilities nearby and boys and girls grammar schools in Folkestone.
