The Riviera, Sandgate, CT20

DESCRIPTION
Situated in a prime beach front location from where it commands a magnificent panorama of the sea, around Hythe Bay to Dungeness and to the coast of France on a clear day, a stunning penthouse apartment which has been extensively refurbished for the current owners who have embraced the mid century modern vibe of the property, retaining the best of the original detailing, complementing it with a smart contemporary finish designed for a modern lifestyle.

The apartment, which has direct lift access, offers spacious accommodation, flooded with light from expansive glazing and with views of the sea from virtually every vantage point and if not of the sea, of Sandgate's picturesque rooftops and hillside. Stepping out of the lift straight into the apartment you enter a welcoming entrance hall leading to a particularly generous living space with a wonderful original bar. The living room opens onto a spacious south facing terrace overlooking the sea. The contemporary kitchen/dining space provides a wonderful environment for entertaining and access to the second roof terrace from where views of the sea and over Sandgate can be enjoyed. There are three double bedrooms, the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. There is also a utility room and cloakroom.

Beach Marine enjoys some delightful communal gardens providing direct access to the promenade and to the beach. There is also an under ground car park in which The Penthouse has the advantage of a garage, 1.5 parking spaces (with EV charger wall box) and two storage facilities.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.

SITUATION
The Riviera is an exclusive location accessed from the main A259 that runs along the coast between Sandgate and Hythe, and backing directly onto the beach. The property is a short stroll from the charming and sought-after village centre with its eclectic mix of village store, antiques shops, boutiques, public houses, cafes and restaurants. The long stretches of shingle beach and the sailing club can be found by meandering down one of the pretty alleyways from the high street or from the communal gardens which provide direct access to the promenade leading to the coastal path which can be followed along the foot of The Leas all the way to Folkestone harbour and The Harbour Arm.

The Cinque Ports Town of Hythe with its wider range of amenities, including a Waitrose, is approximately 3 miles away to the west and the larger town of Folkestone is about 2 miles to the east. There is a variety of sports available along the coast, including rowing and sailing and a choice of golf courses in the immediate vicinity together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre.

The High Speed Rail Link service to London, with a journey time to St Pancras of less than an hour, is available at Folkestone West Station (1 mile) and Ashford International (16 miles). The M20 motorway network and the Channel Tunnel Terminal at Cheriton (Calais 35 minutes) are both about 3 miles distant.
