The accommodation, which exudes charm and character with a wealth of original features, is beautifully presented in a contemporary style and comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the capacious sitting room with a cosy open fire, a beautiful open plan kitchen/dining/living space leading to a separate utility room, family room (potential fifth bedroom), dining room leading to the study and a wet room. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, one with a dressing room and two sharing an en-suite bathroom, there is also a shower room.
The house occupies a generous plot with a sweeping carriage driveway to the front accessing the detached double garage and adjoining single garage and to the rear the level lawned garden enjoys a westerly aspect and provides a delightfully tranquil environment in which to relax and dine alfresco.

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. It is also a relatively short walk from the centre of Saltwood with its pretty village green, local shop, Michelin starred restaurant, public house, historic church and castle. 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. The High Speed Link is available from both Folkestone (5 miles) and Ashford (12 miles) with journey times to St Pancras of around 53 minutes and 38 minutes respectively (all times and distances are approximate).
