Summary - 162a, High Street CT21 5JR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Two-bedroom central Hythe flat — chain free, long lease, close to shops and seafront.
Chain free first-floor apartment in Hythe High Street
Set on Hythe High Street, this chain-free first-floor apartment offers straightforward town-centre living with shops, cafes and the seafront within easy walking distance. The flat has two double bedrooms, a roomy lounge/diner and a good-sized kitchen across an average-sized 700 sq ft layout — well suited to a buyer wanting a low-commitment, central base.
Practical details that add value include a long lease (116 years remaining), double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler with radiators, and a below-average service charge (£420). The property is in an Edwardian/Victorian mixed-use building that retains period character and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for working from home or staying connected.
Be clear about notable drawbacks: this is a leasehold flat in an ageing urban, communal retirement area, with a medium flood risk and sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed to have no insulation. These factors may affect insurance, comfort and running costs. Prospective buyers should verify lease terms, service charge inclusions, flood cover and any required maintenance.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers or buyers seeking a central Hythe base with minimal chain delays. Viewing is by appointment only for the open house on Saturday — a chance to assess space, natural light and local amenities at close hand.
