Detailed Description
Description
Sea Lodge is a unique detached single storey dwelling which boasts a privileged position from where it commands a magnificent southerly panorama with extensive views of the sea and to the coast of France on a clear day. The property now requires extensive updating and refurbishment but given its particularly special location, the fact that it offers very comfortably proportioned accommodation and as such offers the potential to create an exceptional home, it is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.
The accommodation includes an entrance hall which leads to the dining room, this opens onto a generous sitting room which enjoys beautiful sea views and opens to the garden. There is a large separate kitchen, three double bedrooms (two offering views of the sea), a bathroom and a cloakroom.
There is a densely planted garden to the front, parking on the driveway which also accesses the detached garage. To the rear there is a level terrace, the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the views with the remainder of the garden sloping downwards away from the property.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
Situation
In an exclusive location, towards the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac, within only a short walk along the promenade to the charming and sought-after Sandgate village centre, with its eclectic mix of local shops and boutiques, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The coastal path can be followed along the foot of The Leas all the way to Folkestone Harbour with the recently regenerated "Harbour Arm" with champagne bar, restaurants, cafes and live music. Beyond the Harbour is the Creative Quarter, home to a host of artists, a thriving café culture and many other creative activities. Folkestone also boasts "The Leas" promenade providing a beautiful walk into Folkestone, along the cliff top from where unrivalled Channel views can be enjoyed.
The Cinque Ports Town of Hythe with its wider range of amenities, including a Waitrose, is approximately 3 miles to the west and the larger town of Folkestone is about 2 miles to the east. There are a variety of sporting facilities available along the coast, including rowing and sailing clubs, a choice of golf courses in the immediate vicinity, together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre.
The High Speed Rail Link service to London, with a journey time to St Pancras of less than an hour, is available at Folkestone West Station (1 mile) and Ashford International (16 miles) and Eurostar services to Paris and Brussels are also available at the latter.
The M20 motorway network and the Channel Tunnel Terminal at Cheriton (Calais 35 minutes) are both about 3 miles distant. (All distances are approximate).
