Hillside Street, Hythe, CT21

DESCRIPTION
This enchanting detached period cottage enjoys an idyllic situation on Hythe's picturesque lower hillside from where the house enjoys stunning views over Hythe and of the sea. The property offers attractively presented accommodation which is of particularly comfortable proportions and exudes charm and character with a wealth of original features throughout. The accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule leading to the charming kitchen beyond which is the dining room with its pretty fireplace and wood burning stove. The sitting room at the front of the house also enjoys a cosy woodburning stove. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, each enjoying views of the sea and a bathroom.

A particularly attractive feature of the property is the fact that it benefits off street parking on the driveway at the side of the house which is a rare commodity in this sought after area. Beyond this is a private courtyard leading to the main entrance and steps continue upwards to the secluded garden which provides attractive seating areas which are afforded a great deal of privacy by lush vegetation. At the top of the garden is a whimsical folly beyond which is an elevated decked terrace from where stunning views, over Hythe, of the sea and to the hills at Fairlight can be enjoyed.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
