2 bed bungalow for sale

Upper Malthouse Hill, Hythe CT21

Detailed Description

Description
Oakleigh is quite a rarity for the centre of Hythe being a modern detached chalet bungalow built in 2002, designed by an award winning architect, Keith Barker. The property is nestled on the pretty lower hillside within a short walk of the High Street on a delightfully secluded plot and is set behind one of the town's ancient stone walls. It has been designed to compliment its environment and, having been built in stone with brick detailing, it sits comfortably alongside its neighbouring period properties.

The bungalow offers thoughtfully designed, light and airy accommodation of comfortable proportions including a spacious entrance hall set beneath a ceiling with a pair of Velux roof lights which flood the space with light, a generous sitting room with glazed door leading to a separate dining room and beyond this is the well fitted kitchen with adjoining utility room. There is also a good double bedroom on the ground floor with en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. The first floor comprises one large bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property. They offer an unusual level of privacy, have been designed with ease of maintenance in mind and provide a delightful environment in which to relax and dine alfresco. Unusually the property also benefits from a garage, accessed from Hillside Street before which is a single parking space.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.

Nb The property is available at a substantially reduced price should a prospective purchase wish to proceed without including the garage and parking space.
