DESCRIPTION
This exceptional property is nestled on Hythe's picturesque hillside, in an elevated position from where the house commands magnificent panorama with views over St Leonards Church, the town, to the sea and around the bay. This has to be amongst the finest views in Hythe, it is utterly breathtaking.

The house enjoys a delightful level of seclusion, you are barely aware of a neighbour (without feeling isolated), is virtually unnoticeable from the lane outside yet forms a prominent part of the hillside. The property bnefits from a stunning extension on the south western corner of the property to provide a large, open plan kitchen/dining living room designed to compliment a modern lifestyle in addition to the two existing reception rooms. Whilst the house is currently arranged with just two bedrooms it is perfectly feasible to create a third and even a fourth with some relatively simple reconfiguration of the space.

The outside space is one of the property's unique selling points, it's the ideal environment in which to relax, unwind and soak up the sun and the views. Its also perfect for entertaining, and alfresco dining, without a lot of imagination you could believe you were in the Mediterranean! There is also off street parking on the driveway.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.

SITUATION
This unique property is situated in an exclusive location at the "Hythe end" of Castle Road, at the head of Castle Hill, a pedestrian walkway to North Road, Church Hill and in turn, the town centre. It is also a relatively level walk from the centre of Saltwood with its pretty village green, local shop, restaurant, pub, historic church and castle. There are two excellent primary schools within only a short walk and Brockhill Performing Arts College is only a little further. There are two highly regarded Grammar Schools in Folkestone with a regular bus service providing access to both. Hythe enjoys a busy High Street with an extensive range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. The town is well served by four supermarkets, including Waitrose. There are a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including sailing, tennis, bowls, etc. together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre and two golf courses.

Commuting links are excellent with the motorway network (M20 Junction 11) 3 miles distant, main line railway station at Sandling 2 miles, the Channel Tunnel Terminal 4 miles, the ferry port of Dover 10 miles and Ashford International Passenger Station 12 miles. The High Speed Link is available from both Folkestone (5 miles) and Ashford (12 miles) with journey times to St Pancras of around 53 minutes and 38 minutes respectively (all times and distances are approximate).

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
