Detailed Description

Description
Enviably situated in a prime beachfront location from where it commands a magnificent panorama of the sea, around Hythe Bay to Dungeness in the west and to the coast of France on a clear day, this stunning Victorian town house, once arranged as two maisonettes, has been restored by the current owners to provide a versatile family home with accommodation arranged over four floors. The property exudes charm and character throughout with a wealth of original architectural features.

The well appointed, elegantly proportioned accommodation is designed to ensure the stunning vistas can be enjoyed from all of the principal spaces and includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to a generous open plan kitchen/dining room and an office. The lower ground floor provides two bedrooms and a bathroom. On the first floor there is a guest bedroom, shower room and a beautiful drawing room opening onto a south facing balcony, the perfect vantage point from where to enjoy the views from beneath its recently replaced, beautifully detailed lead canopy. The second floor is occupied by the principal bedroom, also enjoying sea views, and a beautiful bathroom.

There is a shallow courtyard to the front and to the rear there is a relatively secluded garden with mature planting designed for year round interest and incorporating a summerhouse and workshop.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
