Detached House for sale with 5 bedrooms, Brockhill Road, Hythe

If living on the edge of a quintessential Kentish village but with all the amenities available from a nearby seaside town and easy access to a mainline station and a motorway are what you are looking for, then this three storey detached Edwardian family home could tick all the right boxes. It has been charmingly modernised by the owners while still incorporating delightful period features that provide such a special character. These include patterned external brickwork, bay sash windows and leaded light windows and doors as well as fireplaces, high skirtings, coved ceilings and panelled doors.

There is a wide block paved driveway with an electric charger and off road parking that leads to slate covered hard standing as well as to the outer front door and a spacious porch. The inner front door opens into a large hallway with Amtico wood effect herringbone flooring that flows through much of the ground floor and includes an understairs cupboard, a contemporary cloakroom and a small snug, study or kids’ playroom. The attractive lounge has a sculptured surround to the fireplace and shutters on the bay window and is just the place for a quiet read. However, the ‘star of the show’ has to be the stunning light and bright open plan family space with underfloor heating that was created about two years ago. As soon as you walk into the room it gives you the feeling that you are in a large garden room with wide bi-fold doors and full height windows on two sides as well as a glass roof over the seating area. There is a spacious dining area and a large Italian kitchen with a central island/breakfast bar, a stunning mirrored splashback and grey flat fronted units housing a Bora induction hob with an inset recirculation extractor, a Bosch built in oven and microwave, a dishwasher and a Quooker boiling water tap. There is a door to the utility area and boiler cupboard as well as access to the garden.

On the first floor you will find a spacious modern family bathroom with a bath, separate shower and vanity basin as well as three double bedrooms including one with a period fireplace and the impressive main suite. This also has a period fireplace, a large en suite shower room and a dressing room with a walk-in wardrobe. While on the second floor there are two further double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and plenty of eaves storage as well as boarded loft areas.

Outside the very low maintenance garden includes a wraparound Indian sandstone terrace for outdoor entertaining and relaxing in the sunshine and a garden storage shed. It is surrounded by a lawn and shrub beds bordered by high hedging providing privacy and security. While solar panels on the roof keep electricity bills to a minimum.
