2 bed end terrace house for sale

St Leonards Road, Hythe CT21

Detailed Description

Description
Believed to have originally been built in the mid 1860's to house a number of Coastguards and their families, these charming period cottages remain a fine reminder of Hythe's maritime heritage.

No.9 forms the south end of the terrace with no neighbours passing by the entrance and as such enjoys an unusually private setting. The property would now benefit from some general updating but has the potential to create an exceptional home tailored to suit the purchaser's own tastes and requirements, with scope to extend (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained). The property is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced to reflect this.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to the kitchen and sitting room with adjoining sun room. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a pretty courtyard garden to the front with greenhouse and potting shed and the west facing rear garden incorporates off street parking accessed from St Leonards Road.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
Situation

St Leonards Road is considered as one of Hythe's prime locations, very close to the prestigious Fisherman's Beach development and moments from the unspoilt seafront of this ancient Cinque Ports Town, with its long stretches of unspoilt shingle beaches where one can dine in style at the Waterfront or on the beach itself at The Lazy Shack. The house is also on a level approach to the Royal Military Canal and to the nearby bustling High Street which enjoys a variety of independent shops, boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants. 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. Hythe Bay Primary School is also very accessible. The larger town of Folkestone is around 5 miles and the Cathedral City of Canterbury is approximately 17 miles distant.

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 4 miles away and the ferry port of Dover is 13 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
