DESCRIPTION
An exciting opportunity to acquire an enchanting period property situated in a prime location, moments from the beach and a short level walk from the town centre. The property has been in the hands of the same family for over sixty years having been a much loved family home since it was purchased in 1961. Although it appears to have been generally well maintained over the years, including having been re-roofed circa 2001, it is fair to say it would now benefit from a programme of general updating and improvement. It has recently benefitted from some external repairs and internal redecoration in part. However, with particularly well proportioned accommodation with many original features, the house has the potential to provide an exceptionally comfortable home.
The accommodation is currently arranged to comprise a welcoming entrance hall with pretty original staircase and leading to the spacious sitting room, separate dining room with French windows opening to the rear garden, kitchen leading to a utility room beyond which is an open porch leading to a workshop. This could be incorporated into the main dwelling (subject to any necessary consents and approvals) and currently incorporates a W.C.. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate W.C. To the rear of the house is a secluded garden providing a delightful environment for alfresco dining. There is readily available unrestricted on-street parking at the front of the house.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
SITUATION
Park Road is a particularly sought after residential location, on level ground, to the south of the Royal Military Canal, moments from the seafront and a short, level walk from the busy High Street with its range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. The town also benefits from having 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Aldi and Sainsburys). There is a selection of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including tennis, water sports, cricket, bowls and squash clubs etc. as well as The Hotel Imperial Leisure Complex and two golf courses. The property is also in the catchment area for Hythe Bay Primary School and only a short walk from it. The larger town of Folkestone is 5 miles and the Cathedral City of Canterbury 15 miles.
The area is convenient for connections to London and the Continent with the M20 motorway (Junction 11) 2½ miles distant, the Channel Tunnel Terminal 3 miles and a mainline railway station at Saltwood just over 2 miles away. High Speed trains to London St Pancras are available from both Ashford (10 miles) and Folkestone (Central and West). (All distances are approximate).
