3 bed detached house for sale

St Leonards Road, Hythe CT21

Detailed Description

Description
Haytor enjoys a wonderful position, quite literally "a stones throw from the beach", from where the property enjoys some lovely views of the sea and of Fishermen's beach. The property is being offered for sale for the first time since it was purchased circa 1985 at which point it was extensively refurbished and appears to have been generally well maintained since, Although some general updating is now required, with exceptionally well proportioned accommodation, offers the potential to create a very comfortable home.

The property comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to two generous reception rooms, both enjoying views of the sea, the kitchen with adjacent utility area and to a large ground floor bedroom and bathroom. On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms, each enjoying views of the sea and Fishermen's Beach, and a shower room. There is also a very useful basement.

The house also benefits from garages, one of a particularly generous size, plenty of parking on the driveways and a delightfully secluded rear garden.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
Situation

St Leonards Road is a highly sought after location, very close to the prestigious Fisherman's Beach development and seconds from the unspoilt seafront of this ancient Cinque Ports Town, with its long stretches of shingle beaches. 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 (4.2 miles) and Ashford International (10 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively. Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels also depart from the latter. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is around 4 miles away and the ferry port of Dover is 13 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
