4 bed detached house to buy in CT21

Tucked away at the end of a quiet private road, just moments from the heart of Hythe High Street, this substantial attached home occupies an elevated and highly sought-after position, commanding far-reaching views across the town and towards the sea.

Set within generous and beautifully tiered grounds, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of scale, privacy and potential in one of Hythe's most desirable locations.

The Setting

Springfield Passage is a peaceful and rarely available address, prized for its tranquillity whilst remaining within easy reach of local amenities. The elevated position provides stunning panoramic views across Hythe and out to sea, creating a truly special backdrop.

Outside

The property is approached via a generous driveway with ample parking and a turning circle, providing ease of access.

To the front, there is an attractive garden arranged over a number of terraced levels, adding character and interest to the approach.

To the rear, the generous split-level garden is a standout feature. Two elevated patio terraces provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to a lawned garden. The lower levels currently house a greenhouse and shed, while the upper terraces enjoy breathtaking views across the town and coastline.

Inside

Internally, the property offers versatile and spacious accommodation arranged over split levels. A welcoming entrance porch leads into a generous hallway, with a ground floor WC and bathroom.

There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, with additional flexibility provided by a converted garage space, ideal as an annex, home office or further bedroom accommodation.

The heart of the home is the L-shaped sitting/dining room, featuring a fireplace and large windows that perfectly frame the spectacular views. Additional reception space offers further flexibility, whether as a lounge, fifth bedroom or study. A kitchen with adjoining utility area completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with large picture windows capturing the far-reaching views, built-in storage, and an en-suite.

Potential

The property would benefit from modernisation, including updating of the kitchen and bathrooms, but represents an outstanding opportunity to create a truly exceptional home. There is clear scope for extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents, as demonstrated by neighbouring properties.

Location & Lifestyle

Hythe is one of Kent's most desirable coastal towns, known for its charming High Street, independent shops, cafés, and seafront.

The property is ideally positioned for well-regarded local schooling, including both primary and secondary options, and benefits from excellent transport links. The coast is just a short distance away, offering beautiful walks and a relaxed seaside lifestyle.

Summary

A rare chance to acquire a substantial home with generous grounds, outstanding views, and significant potential, all set within a prime and peaceful location close to the centre of Hythe.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.

Minimum online bidding increments:
£50,000 - £250 minimum bid
