2 bed property for sale

Rock Cottage, 65 Dymchurch Road, Hythe CT21

Believed to date from 1711, years before the Royal Military Canal was built, and when George I was on the throne. Now requiring full and extensive refurbishment the cottage could provide a delightful weekend bolt-hole. Still retaining much character but having been modernised in past years with the addition of a ground floor bathroom, gas central heating (untested), some replacement windows and modern fusebox. Tremendous scope exists to re-configure the existing accommodation or perhaps extend, subject to approval. Positioned directly opposite the canal and within easy walking distance of all local amenities. Parking is currently on-road outside but space exists to the rear for a potential off-road driveway. Priced to sell, for further info please call.
