This well-presented four-bedroom semi-detached house on Elmstead Road offers practical, modern living across three floors. The layout includes a good-sized living room with French doors, a spacious kitchen/diner, utility and cloakroom downstairs, and an en suite to the main bedroom. A small rear garden and garage with off-road parking add useful outdoor and storage space.
Positioned within walking distance of the University of Essex, Hythe train station and a large supermarket, the property suits those seeking convenient local transport and amenities. Double glazing, gas central heating and relatively recent construction (1996–2002) mean the home is largely low-maintenance and ready to occupy or let immediately.
Buyers should note material local factors: the postcode area records higher crime and area deprivation indicators, and council tax is above average. The plot is small and the overall house footprint is compact for four bedrooms, so a viewing is recommended to assess space for your needs. There is also a medium flood risk in the locality — consider specialist insurance and local flood guidance.
For investors, the proximity to the university and transport links supports strong rental demand and HMO potential (subject to planning). For owner-occupiers, the house is a practical family or sharers’ home offering modern fittings and straightforward upkeep, but buyers sensitive to neighbourhood safety or space should factor those issues into their decision.
