DESCRIPTION
This handsome semi-detached period house is situated in a sought after location where it benefits from a 200ft south facing garden giving direct access to the banks of the Royal Military Canal. The property has been in the ownership of the same family for many years and it is fair to say that it does now require general updating and improvement. With a wealth of original features and very comfortably proportioned accommodation, it has the potential to provide an exceptionally comfortable family home, is considered well worthy of any expenditure required and has been priced accordingly.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the sitting room with its cosy open fire, the separate ding room and kitchen breakfast room, both of which open onto the garden. On the first floor there are two bedrooms plus a bathroom and shower room and on the second floor there are two further bedrooms, the one to the rear enjoying views to the sea.
The 200 (plus) ft garden is a tranquil haven, incorporates various sheds and a former garage/workshop, fruit trees etc and also benefits from direct access to the Royal Military Canal. The house also has the unusual advantage of off street parking.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
SITUATION
This well situated property is close to local amenities in Seabrook including a village shop, public house and well thought of Primary School. The beach is a very short walk away and the picturesque Royal Military Canal is at the end of the garden. The property is approximately 2½ miles from both the ancient Cinque Ports town of Hythe and the larger town of Folkestone.
Hythe has a selection of independent shops and restaurants, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsbury and Aldi), doctors, dentist, etc. There is a monthly farmers' market and many clubs and societies that welcome new members. There are three golf courses in the vicinity, as well as sailing, bowls, tennis and the Leisure Centre at the Hotel Imperial. The trendy village of Sandgate, with its active rowing club, is about a mile distant.
The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications as there are main line railway stations within easy reach and an access point for the M20 motorway (Junction 12) only 2 miles away, making it possible to reach Central London within about 1½ hours by both road and rail. The High Speed Rail Link offers a journey time to the City of just under an hour and is available from Folkestone West & Central and also Ashford Stations. The Channel Tunnel Terminal, with regular shuttle services to the Continent, is only just over 2 miles away and Ashford International Passenger Terminal is only 20 minutes by car. The ferry port of Dover is approximately 12 miles away. (All distances are approximate).
