West Parade, Hythe

DESCRIPTION
Enviably situated in a prime beachfront location from where it commands a magnificent panorama of the sea, around Hythe Bay to Dungeness in the west and to the coast of France on a clear day, this stunning Victorian town house, once arranged as two maisonettes, has been restored by the current owners to provide a versatile family home with accommodation arranged over four floors. The property could (subject to obtaining all necessary consents and approvals) be relatively easily returned to two maisonettes.
The well appointed, elegantly proportioned accommodation is designed to ensure the stunning vistas can be enjoyed from all of the principal spaces and includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to the sea facing sitting room which is open plan to the kitchen/dining room with Juliette balcony overlooking the garden. There is also a shower room on this floor. The lower ground floor comprises two bedrooms, one leading to the garden, a bathroom and an office, also accessing the garden. On the first floor there is a beautiful drawing room opening onto a south facing balcony, the perfect vantage point from where to enjoy the views, a further kitchen/breakfast room and a shower room. The second floor is occupied by two bedrooms, the principal bedroom also enjoying sea views, and a cloakroom.
There is a shallow courtyard to the front and to the rear there is a relatively secluded garden with rear access.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
SITUATION
Situated in a coveted beachfront location within the historic Cinque Ports town of Hythe, this unique property enjoys uninterrupted views over unspoilt shingle beaches and is just a short, level walk to the scenic Royal Military Canal. It lies very close to the prestigious Fisherman's Beach development where one can dine on the beach at The Lazy Shack, or, a short stroll along the promenade takes you to Hythe's highly regarded 'The Waterfront Restaurant' specialising in seafood and British cuisine.
The nearby bustling High Street enjoys a variety of independent shops, boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants and in addition there are 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsbury and Aldi). There is also a selection of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity including tennis, bowls, cricket, squash and sailing clubs as well as other water sports facilities. The larger town of Folkestone is less than 5 miles and the Cathedral City of Canterbury, approx. 17 miles distant.
The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a mainline 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 (4.2 miles) and Ashford International (10 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is around 4 miles away and the ferry port of Dover is 13 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
