Guide price £500,000–£520,000. This Grade II listed waterfront cottage sits in the heart of Hythe village, a short walk from shops, ferry and the green. With three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a sunlit vaulted kitchen opening to a courtyard, the house blends Georgian character with practical outdoor space and private parking.
Special features include bay windows with direct water views, exposed beams and open fireplaces that create a cosy, period atmosphere. The secluded walled garden and single-car carport with an adjoining storage/office room add useful outside space and flexible utility. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, and nearby amenities and well-rated primary schools make day-to-day living straightforward.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict changes and may complicate repairs or extensions. The location carries a high flood risk — insurance and flood resilience measures must be considered. It is a leasehold with a long lease remaining (674 years) and moderate council tax. Recorded crime is above average for the area.
For downsizers seeking character on the water, this cottage offers immediate charm and a manageable footprint with scope to personalise interiors within listed-building limits. It’s best viewed in person to appreciate the light, waterfront outlook and garden layout.
