About
DESCRIPTION This beautiful Edwardian three storey semi-detached family home is enviably positioned on the coveted south side of Hillcrest Road from where it commands some wonderful views over Hythe and of the sea.
The property, which is attractively presented throughout, has been thoughtfully extended to provide versatile accommodation totalling circa 3265 square feet (including the garage).
The house exudes charm and character and boasts a wealth of original features.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to an elegant dining room and sitting room and the kitchen with bespoke cabinetry.
Beyond the kitchen is a lovely garden room, utility room and there is also a cloakroom.
The first and second floors incorporate five bedrooms (one with balcony enjoying views of the sea), a bathroom and a shower room.
The house occupies a generous plot with a double width driveway to the front providing off road parking for a number of vehicles and access to the double garage over which is a spacious hobbies room.
To the rear there is a pretty terrace and a delightfully secluded level expanse of lawn providing a wonderful environment for alfresco dining and entertaining and from where glorious views of the sea can be enjoyed.
Beyond this the garden slopes away from the house with a former garage at the far end. For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
SITUATION This unique property is situated in an exclusive location on the seaward side of Hillcrest Road from where it commands a magnificent southerly vista over the town with views of the sea and around the bay to Dungeness.
A pedestrian walkway (Church Hill) leads down to North Road and in turn, the town centre.
It is also a relatively level walk from the centre of Saltwood with its pretty village green, local shop, Michelin starred restaurant, pub, historic church and castle.
There are two excellent primary schools within only a short walk and Brockhill Performing Arts College is only a little further.
There are two highly regarded Grammar Schools in Folkestone with a regular bus service providing access to both. The house is a 5 minute drive from Hythe's beaches and boardwalks.
Hythe is well served with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose) and has a quintessential English high street, filled with historic old buildings, independent shops and boutiques, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
There are a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including sailing, tennis, bowls, cricket and squash clubs, together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre and two golf courses.
Commuting links are excellent with the motorway network (M20 Junction 11) 3 miles distant, main line railway station at Sandling 2 miles, the Channel Tunnel Terminal 4 miles, the ferry port of Dover 10 miles and Ashford International Passenger Station 12 miles.
The High Speed Link is available from both Folkestone (5 miles) and Ashford (12 miles) with journey times to St Pancras of around 53 minutes and 38 minutes respectively (all times and distances are approximate).
