Range Road, Hythe, CT21

DESCRIPTION
Being offered for sale for the first time in some forty years, Coast Cottage is a much loved family home which has been well maintained and improved during the ownership of the family. The pretty yet relatively unassuming façade conceals a deceptively spacious interior with accommodation totalling circa 1500 square feet (plus the garage).

This semi-detached chalet bungalow is entered via a generous entrance porch opening to a spacious dining room, flooded with light from the two south facing windows and with beautiful original parquet flooring which extends throughout much of the ground floor. The 20ft sitting room opens onto the garden as does the smartly fitted kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a utility room on the ground floor. The first floor comprises two bedrooms, the principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, and a large bathroom.

The house occupies a generous plot with the main area of the garden directly to the rear of the property being well planted for year round interest and incorporating an attractive ornamental pond, expanse of lawn and various seating areas. To the front of the house is a wide driveway providing parking and leading to the detached garage.

Beyond the main garden there is additional land with separate vehicular access from Wakefield Way. The owner of the property made a recent pre planning application with F&HDC which received a positive response so there may be planning potential for the erection of a single storey dwelling in this area (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained).

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
