5 bed Detached House
£875,000
Castle Road,Hythe,CT21
DESCRIPTION
This substantial detached house occupies a generous plot in an exclusive location on the cusp of the village of Saltwood yet remaining accessible to the town centre. The property has been a cherished family home for many years and although appearing to have been well maintained, it is fair to say that some general updating would be beneficial. There is also considerable scope to extend with plans already having been approved for side and rear extensions, internal reconfiguration together with an attic extension under planning reference number 23/1028/FH which can be viewed on Folkestone & Hythe District Council's website.
The current accommodation is comfortably proportioned, attractively decorated and comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the sitting room with a cosy open fire, the dining room which connects with the kitchen/breakfast room and utility room beyond. There is also a ground floor bedroom and smartly fitted bath/wet room. The first floor provides four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate w.c.
The house enjoys a generous frontage to Castle Road with ample parking on the driveway which also access the integral double garage over which is a useful attic room. To the rear the mature 115 ft garden enjoys a sunny aspect and backs directly onto Eaton Lands.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
