Hillside Street, Hythe, CT21

DESCRIPTION

This charming period cottage is nestled on Hythe's picturesque hillside within the desirable conservation area from where it commands some lovely views over the town and to the sea beyond. It forms part of a terrace of just three similarly attractive properties and is surrounded by other period of homes lending the immediate vicinity a great sense of charm and character.

The house offers light and airy accommodation with some particularly attractive original features throughout such as polished floor boards, joinery and fireplaces. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, sitting room, separate dining room, well fitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a first floor bathroom. There may also be scope to extend into the side return and/or convert the attic should additional space be required (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained).

There is a delightfully secluded cottage garden to the rear incorporating a courtyard accessed from the kitchen with the remainder of the garden sloping gently away from the house with a pathway meandering through it and resulting in an elevated terrace at the far end.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
