Detached House for sale with 5 bedrooms, Church Rise, Hillside Street

Set high on the hillside and approached via a private road, this impressive contemporary home, completed in 2004, enjoys commanding views over Hythe, the sea and France beyond. Its elevated position creates a wonderful sense of privacy, with the driveway leading directly to the integral triple garage discreetly set into the lower ground floor. From here, steps rise to the main entrance on the ground floor, opening into a generous and welcoming hall that immediately frames the connection to the rear garden. The ground floor forms the main accommodation level, thoughtfully arranged around five bedrooms, each offering comfort and flexibility for modern living. The main bedroom includes a well‑appointed ensuite bathroom, while a second bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and the fifth bedroom is currently arranged as a study, ideal for home working or quiet retreat. The proportions throughout this floor feel calm and balanced, with the hall providing a central spine that links the rooms to the garden beyond. The first floor is dedicated to the home’s most impressive views, with large dormer windows drawing in natural light and framing the outlook across the town and out to sea. A substantial lounge provides an elegant space for relaxing or entertaining, while the updated, modern kitchen/dining room includes high-end Neff appliances and room for a large fridge/freezer while offering a sociable layout perfect for everyday living. A convenient toilet sits off the hallway, completing this superb upper level. Returning to the lower ground floor, the practical elements of the home are beautifully integrated. A useful utility room sits alongside direct access to the triple garage, which includes a dedicated workshop area to the rear and a sizeable boiler room and store to the side. Beyond these functional spaces are further rooms that offer exceptional versatility, currently arranged as a family/games room and a gym, but easily adaptable to suit a wide range of needs. Outside, the tiered rear garden has been cleverly designed to maximise the hillside setting, with steps leading up through multiple levels that provide varied seating and entertaining areas. Each tier offers its own perspective, creating a garden that feels both spacious and intimate, perfectly complementing the elevated position and the remarkable views that define this unique home. Hythe offers a wonderfully relaxed coastal lifestyle, combining traditional charm with an easy, modern pace of living. Its long promenade, wide shingle beach and ever‑changing sea views create a natural backdrop that residents enjoy throughout the year, whether for morning walks, weekend coffee stops or simply taking in the horizon.

The historic high street is lined with characterful buildings and a mix of boutiques, galleries and eateries, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages slow wandering. Hythe’s food scene continues to grow, with a choice of cosy pubs, stylish restaurants and artisan bakeries offering plenty of variety. The Royal Military Canal runs quietly through the town, offering scenic walking routes shaded by trees and frequented by wildlife, adding another layer of tranquillity to the area. Schools in and around Hythe are well regarded, with both primary and secondary options easily accessible.
