Seabrook Road, Hythe

DESCRIPTION Pound Cottage is an enchanting Grade II Listed period property built of Kent Ragstone with brick facings under a Kent peg tiled roof. It had suffered from a period of neglect, but, in recent months, has been lavished with the care and attention it deserves. It has been extensively remodelled and refurbished with meticulous attention to detail in a style sympathetic to the period of the property whilst embracing contemporary elements where appropriate, including full central heating. The result is a stunning period home which exudes charm and character throughout and has been thoughtfully rearranged to provide accommodation designed to compliment a modern lifestyle.
The accommodation comprises a pretty entrance porch leading to the hallway with a cosy sitting room to the left and to the right, a wonderful open plan living/dining/kitchen space, arranged in three defined areas, the living space with polished parquet floor and inviting wood burning stove, the dining area with a pretty window seat and door to the garden and the kitchen with a sleek modern installation incorporating integrated appliances and quartz worktops. There is a cloak/utility room beyond the kitchen. There are three comfortable bedrooms on the first floor together with a luxurious family bathroom and a further modern shower room. The atmospheric fourth bedroom is on the second floor and enjoys its own beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom.
Outside there is off road parking for a vehicle before the attached garage. The main garden lies to the side of the house enjoying a southerly aspect and with an expanse of lawn, pretty ornamental pond and mature hedge affording a great deal of privacy. There is then additional space to the rear of the house and an upper level of lawn and shrubs.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
