For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Bartholomew Street, Hythe, Kent Ct21 5bt£1,350,000

We have thoroughly enjoyed living in this delightful family home as we love Georgian houses and this one has such perfect symmetry.  However, we feel it is time to down size due the family flying the nest.  The house was originally built as a small holding farm and is one of the key historical buildings in central Hythe.  It has been lived in by many interesting characters and has been home to the Mackeson Brewery owners.  During World War 2  it was requisitioned by the RAF and was a billet for Battle of Britain pilots - you can still see the evidence of their stay in the odd graffitied brick showing dates and initials.   We love the feel of the place and it’s sense of being a secret behind it’s old walled garden.  We lived in Hythe for many years before we even knew it existed as it is totally hidden from the street.  It is a real oasis but so handy for the high street which is under a minutes walk away. For the more energetic there is a swimming pool, cricket and squash clubs as well as the tennis club while for golfing enthusiasts there is the Sene Valley golf club designed by Henry Cotton and the Hotel Imperial that includes a golf course and a leisure centre, while sailors can join the Hythe Sailing club The are good local primary schools and two excellent grammar schools in Folkestone with top class private schools available in Ashford, Canterbury and Dover. Transport links are very good with Sandling station not far away and it is less than an hour to London on the high speed train from Folkestone West or about 35 minutes if you drive to Ashford International. If you fancy lunch in France, it is only about a short drive to the M20 for the Channel Tunnel.
