5 bed detached house for sale

Hillside Street, Hythe, Kent CT21

Set high on the hillside and approached via a private road, this impressive contemporary home, completed in 2004, enjoys commanding views over Hythe, the sea and France beyond. Its elevated position provides a wonderful sense of privacy, with the driveway leading directly to the integral triple garage on the lower ground floor. From here, steps rise to the main entrance, opening into a generous hall that immediately connects with the rear garden.

The ground floor forms the main accommodation level, thoughtfully arranged around five bedrooms. The principal bedroom features an ensuite bathroom, while a second bedroom also benefits from ensuite facilities. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and the fifth bedroom is currently used as a study, ideal for home working. A spacious central hall links the accommodation and provides access to the garden.

The first floor is designed to maximise the exceptional views, with large dormer windows drawing in natural light and framing the outlook across the town and sea. A substantial lounge offers an elegant space for relaxing and entertaining, while the modern kitchen/dining room features high-end Neff appliances, space for a large fridge/freezer and a sociable layout suited to everyday family life. A convenient cloakroom completes this level.

On the lower ground floor, a utility room sits alongside the triple garage, which includes a workshop, boiler room and additional storage. Further rooms currently arranged as a family/games room and gym provide excellent flexibility and could be adapted to suit a variety of needs.

Outside, the tiered rear garden has been cleverly designed to make the most of the hillside setting. Multiple levels create a variety of seating and entertaining areas, each offering a different perspective and perfectly complementing the property's elevated position and remarkable views.

What the Owner says:
Hythe offers a wonderfully relaxed coastal lifestyle, combining traditional charm with an easy, modern pace of living. Its long promenade, wide shingle beach and ever changing sea views create a natural backdrop that residents enjoy throughout the year, whether for morning walks, weekend coffee stops or simply taking in the horizon. The town centre blends independent shops, cafés and restaurants with everyday essentials, giving it a warm, village like feel while still providing everything needed close at hand.
The historic high street is lined with characterful buildings and a mix of boutiques, galleries and eateries, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages slow wandering. Hythe's food scene continues to grow, with a choice of cosy pubs, stylish restaurants and artisan bakeries offering plenty of variety. The Royal Military Canal runs quietly through the town, offering scenic walking routes shaded by trees and frequented by wildlife, adding another layer of tranquillity to the area.
Schools in and around Hythe are well regarded, with both primary and secondary options easily accessible. The wider area provides excellent leisure opportunities, from golf courses and sports clubs to countryside trails stretching towards the North Downs. Transport links are strong, with road connections and nearby high speed rail services from Folkestone offering swift access to London, making Hythe an appealing choice for those seeking coastal living without sacrificing connectivity.
