Napier Gardens, Hythe

DESCRIPTION
Situated on one of Hythe's favourite cul-de-sacs where family homes rarely change hands, this substantial property is no exception to rule having been home to the current owners for around twenty years. During their ownership they have considerably improved the house which has resulted in a beautifully presented interior which, combined with a thoughtfully designed single storey addition to the rear (built by their predecessors but reconfigured by them), results in a wonderful family home offering accommodation to compliment a modern lifestyle, totalling circa 2103 sq ft (plus garage). The house also benefits from 4kw of solar panels feeding in to the house and in to the grid.
The accommodation comprises an entrance porch opening to the welcoming entrance with recently refinished original floorboards which are evident throughout much of the ground floor. There is a very comfortable sitting room with a cosy wood burning stove, to the rear of the house is a spacious family room with bi-folding doors opening to the garden and partly open plan to the well equipped kitchen/dining room, also with bi-folding doors uniting the space with the garden. A useful utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. On the first floor the pretty landing opens to three double bedrooms, the principal room with an en-suite shower room, a bathroom and a separate cloakroom. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor.
The house stands on a generous plot with a generous frontage where there is a driveway providing off road parking and access to the detached garage. To the rear the garden is delightfully secluded, enjoys mature planting and incorporates three terraces, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
