Cliff Road, Hythe, Kent CT21

An amazing and unique property in this sought after location for enjoying all that Hythe offers, being just over a mile from the town centre and beach, built on this elevated plot to give the most beautiful and far reaching sea views, with a stunning interior which is ready to move straight into.

Designed by the current owner, who was appreciative of those stunning sea views, but also wanted to enjoy this peaceful and private area and make the most of the lush and green tree lined plot which offers a sanctuary to enjoy the spacious garden as much as the balcony areas.

The property offers great design and the interior work has been done to high exacting standards with no expense spared on those finishing touches for someone who craves stylish modern finishes in a coastal setting. Purposely built to give the impression of a smaller compact property from the front, but as soon as you enter into the hallway, you will immediately get the wow factor as this mezzanine landing area provides the first stunning views of the sea beyond and a glimpse into the style and scale of the property with over approximately 5000 square feet of living area.

The property has been comprehensively remodelled and now stands proud, meticulously finished to a high specification with an exacting level of attention being paid to every detail throughout.
