Marine Parade, Hythe

Mapps Estates are delighted to bring to the market this desirable five storey period townhouse residence situated directly on the seafront and enjoying panoramic views of the English Channel and the surrounding countryside. Believed to have been built c.1867 and being brought to the market for the first time since 1976, this is a rare opportunity to acquire such a prestigious home. The versatile accommodation comprises a large sitting room leading to the private garden which opens directly onto the promenade and beach, an elegant dining room opening to a first floor balcony, a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, three/four further bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room, and a modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and fitted German appliances. In addition, there are two workshops to the basement level, one having formerly been a garage, and a parking space to the rear. There is also potential to convert the basement level into a separate flat or annexe, subject to the relevant planning permission being obtained. An early viewing of this impressive home comes highly recommended.
