The comfortably proportioned accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the generous sitting room with a cosy wood burning stove, a separate dining room which leads to the study, spacious kitchen which is open plan to the breakfast room, a utility room and cloakroom.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.SITUATIONNorth Road West is widely considered as being one of Hythe's most desirable locations being high enough up the hill to benefit from lovely views over the town and to the sea, yet remaining within reasonable walking distance of the vibrant High Street, with its range of interesting shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes, together with 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose), doctors' surgeries, etc. The attractive, unspoiled seafront and picturesque Royal Military Canal are only a little further and there are a variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity, including 2 golf courses and the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre, cricket, squash and bowls clubs etc. The village of Saltwood is also just a short walk, a quintessential English village with its pretty green, village hall, public house, local store, Michelin starred restaurant and charming church.Schools are also excellent with Hythe Bay C of E Primary, Saltwood C of E Primary, St Augustine's Catholic Primary & Brockhill Park Performing Arts College all being accessible together with boys and girls Grammar Schools in Folkestone.The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications with a main line railway station in Saltwood (Sandling - 1.5 miles) and access to the M20 (Junction 11 - 2.3 miles). The High Speed Link rail service to Stratford and St Pancras is available from Folkestone West (5 miles) and Ashford International (10 miles), with journey times of 53 and 37 minutes respectively. Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels also depart from the latter. The Channel Tunnel Terminal is around 3 miles away and the ferry port of Dover is 12 miles away. (All distances are approximate).
