House For Sale £885,000
DESCRIPTION An enchanting period home which is enviably situated on an exclusive road on the cusp of the village of Saltwood, within walking distance of Hythe and backing directly onto Eaton Lands. The house occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.25 of an acre with generous gardens to the front and rear offering a level of seclusion rarely found in this sought after location.
The house is set back from Castle Road and is approached via a meandering pathway which leads beneath a beautiful maple tree which partially screens the house from view. The pretty façade conceals a beautifully appointed interior with some beautiful original features which are evident throughout the elegantly proportioned accommodation. This comprises a welcoming hallway with a very pretty staircase to the first floor and door opening to the garden, a delightful sitting room with an impressive fireplace and cosy open fire, this is open plan to the dining room which leads to the conservatory which in turn flows into the smartly fitted kitchen. Also on the ground floor is a cloak/utility room and a double bedroom with en-suite shower room. The bright landing leads to three very comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a wonderful space with dressing area and en-suite shower room.
The gardens are a delight with a wealth of planting for year round interest, various places to relax alfresco and enjoy the peace including a charming veranda together with an octagonal thatched outbuilding. At the far end of the garden is an allotment which is leased from the local authority, an arrangement which we understand can be extended to the purchasers.
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
SITUATION This unique property is situated in an exclusive location on Castle Road from where a pedestrian walkway (Church Hill) leads down to North Road and in turn, the town centre.

There are two excellent primary schools within only a short walk and Brockhill Performing Arts College is only a little further. There are two highly regarded Grammar Schools in Folkestone with a regular bus service providing access to both.
Hythe is well served with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsbury & Aldi) and enjoys a vibrant High Street with its range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. There is a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including sailing, tennis, bowls, cricket and squash clubs etc. together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre and two golf courses. Commuting links are excellent with the motorway network (M20 Junction 11) 3 miles distant, main line railway station at Sandling 2 miles, the Channel Tunnel Terminal 4 miles, the ferry port of Dover 10 miles and Ashford International Passenger Station 12 miles.
