North Road, Hythe

DESCRIPTION
This beautiful Edwardian house, once forming part of the imposing Mackeson's hillside residence (the Mackeson's being a family of local brewers, prolific in the history of Hythe), has been the much improved for the current owners. The result is a stunning family home offering versatile accommodation with spectacular views over the town and of the sea which can be enjoyed from each of the principle rooms as well as from the south facing garden.
The well proportioned accommodation comprises a generous entrance hall, beautiful kitchen/diner with marble worktops and bi-folding doors uniting the space with the south facing terrace, a utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor. There is a useful games room and fourth bedroom with en-suite on the lower ground floor. A fabulous first floor sitting room with open fireplace and access to a sea facing balcony, bedroom and bathroom, occupy the first floor and two further bedrooms, the principal with sea views, form the second floor.
Outside the open communal driveway provides informal parking and there is a garage with a private parking space before it. The garden to the rear is a delight with the original terracotta paved terrace and steps with stone balustrade leading to a decked terrace and seating area, the perfect environment in which to dine alfresco and enjoy the views.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
SITUATION
North Road is viewed as being one of Hythe's most desirable locations being high enough up the hill to benefit from lovely views over the town and of the sea, yet remaining within a short walk of the town centre. The town enjoys a fabulous High Street, with a range of interesting shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsburys & Aldi), doctors' surgeries, etc. The attractive, unspoilt seafront and picturesque Royal Military Canal are only a little further and there are a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including 2 golf courses and the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre, cricket, squash and bowls clubs etc. Schools are also excellent with Hythe Bay C of E Primary, Saltwood C of E Primary, St Augustines Catholic Primary & Brockhill Park Performing Arts College all being accessible.
The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a main line railway station in Saltwood (Sandling - 3 miles) and access to the M20 (Junction 11 - 4 miles). The High Speed Link rail service to Stratford and St Pancras is available from Folkestone West (5 miles) and Ashford International (10 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is around 3 miles away and the ferry port of Dover is 12 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
