Rare hilltop Arts & Crafts family house with sweeping sea views and strong renovation potential.
Panoramic south-facing views over town and English Channel
Set high on a favoured Hythe hillside, this detached Arts & Crafts house delivers panoramic town and coast views from many rooms, including a first-floor sun loggia. The property has distinctive early-20th-century character — roughcast render, gabled bays, original fireplaces with coloured tiles and an interesting former artist’s studio with a full-height ceiling now used as a spacious study/library.
The house is substantial (approximately 2798 sq ft) with five bedrooms and generous reception space, a large garden and a lower-front garage with parking. The plot and elevated position provide privacy and sweeping southerly aspects across the town to the English Channel. It is an easy walk down to the High Street, local shops and Waitrose, with good rail and road links including HS1 services nearby.
The property does require renovation and updating throughout; some windows have been replaced with double glazing but much of the house retains original fabric that will need attention. The large former studio offers flexible potential but will need adaptation for alternative uses. Given the prominent location and rare views, investment in refurbishment is likely to significantly enhance value and enjoyment.
Practical details: freehold, Flood Risk: No Risk, Council Tax band noted as G. The house sits in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it suitable for family living, home working or as a character-rich project for an owner-occupier willing to update a historic home.
