A bright two-bedroom first-floor maisonette set on a quiet no-through road in Hythe, offered chain free and with the remainder of a 999‑year lease. The layout gives a comfortable living room, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom — a straightforward home for a first purchase or a practical downsizer.
The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a nearby garage in a block (recent new roof to the block). Outside is a modest enclosed rear garden with a side store and additional on-street parking close by. Council Tax band B and very low local crime add to the practical appeal.
There is clear potential to personalise and add value: the kitchen dates from the 1980s and the flat is of a typical mid‑century build, so cosmetic updates would modernise the space. The maisonette includes stairs to the first floor, which should be considered for mobility needs. Tenure details are straightforward — leasehold with a small annual ground rent of £30 and buildings insurance currently around £160 per year.
In short, this compact property suits someone seeking an affordable, low‑maintenance entry into Hythe with long lease security and simple running costs, or a buyer prepared to update fixtures to unlock further value.
