House For Sale £1,100,000
Bartholomew Street, Hythe, CT21

DESCRIPTION
Centuries is an iconic building believed to date in part to the 12th Century and Listed as Grade II*. Having been divided to create two apartments in the mid 20th Century, the properties are now being sold together for the first time in over half a century and provide a wonderful opportunity for those looking to live with relatives yet retaining independence or perhaps those looking for an additional income from one of the apartments. Alternatively, subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained, the two apartments could be reunited as one simply stunning dwelling.

One Centuries, the ground floor of the building, is entered from Bartholomew Street and Two Centuries, the first floor, via a gate from Church Hill, set beneath a canopy of heavily scented wisteria, which opens to the delightful walled courtyard garden and once closed the garden provides a wonderful sense of sanctuary. The building has been lovingly restored both inside and out for the current owners and is now beautifully presented throughout in a smart but sympathetic style which enhances the many original features which are evident throughout including exposed beams and fireplaces.

Each apartment is unique in its design, the first floor with a lovely sitting room, flooded with light from the large Gothic windows, a dining room/third bedroom and study, a generous kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms and a dressing room with en-suite wet room, bathroom and utility room. The ground floor is also versatile, it is currently arranged to provide one bedroom and two reception rooms, together with a kitchen and shower room. It also has its own very pretty courtyard garden. The building is also sold with the advantage of a generous garage with power, electric car charging point, light and electronically operated roller door.

For room sizes please refer to floor plan.

Centuries is nestled at the foot of Hythe's picturesque Church Hill, within the desirable Conservation Area of the town, just behind the bustling High Street, with its interesting variety of shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, public houses and post office. The town is also well served by four supermarkets (including Waitrose), doctors surgeries, dentists etc.

The picturesque Royal Military Canal and the attractive, unspoilt seafront are only a little further and there are a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including two golf courses, bowls, tennis and cricket clubs and the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre.

The High Speed Link rail service to Stratford and St Pancras is available from Folkestone West (4 miles) and Ashford International (14 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is around 3 miles away, the ferry port of Dover is 13 miles away. (All distances are approximate.)
