SITUATED only a short level walking distance from the town centre, offering a good selection of independent shops together with Waitrose, Aldi and Sainsbury's stores. The historic Royal Military canal runs through the centre of the town and offers pleasant walks and recreational facilities. The town also boasts an unspoilt seafront. The M20 Motorway, Channel Tunnel Terminal, and port of Dover are also easily accessed by car. High-speed rail services are available from Folkestone West, giving access to St Pancras London in just over fifty minutes. Primary schooling is available just off Hythe Green with secondary schooling being available in nearby Saltwood and both boys' and girls' grammar schools in Folkestone.
A well-presented purpose-built second floor two/three bedroom maisonette enjoying views of the Royal Military Canal to the front and distant sea views to the rear. The spacious accommodation is arranged over two floors – the living room being large enough to accommodate a dining table leaving the dining room as a potential third bedroom if required; there is also a small balcony to the rear, as well as a fitted kitchen and recently updated shower room, with the two main bedrooms on the third floor, one having an en suite cloakroom. With the added benefit of a garage en bloc and a communal garden area to the rear, an early viewing comes highly recommended.
