This second-floor one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Hythe Village offers compact, low-maintenance living with contemporary finishes. The open-plan kitchen/living space, integrated appliances and solid oak doors make it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking easy rental appeal.

Buyers should note the property’s small overall size (approximately 391 sq ft) and reliance on electric room heaters, which can affect running costs. The location is central and well-served by local shops, ferry connections and amenities, but the area has a high flood risk and above-average crime statistics—important considerations for insurance and resale.
Leasehold specifics are straightforward: 118 years remaining, service charge approximately £2,352 per year, and ground rent £140 annually. Council Tax is Band A (relatively low). For purchasers prioritising location and low upkeep over large living space, this apartment represents an accessible entry into Hythe’s market or a compact rental unit with good transport and local amenity links.
