The property is located in Hythe, Kent, a town known for its attractive seafront and proximity to the Channel Tunnel. The area benefits from good transport links via Southeastern trains at Sandling station (2.03km), Westenhanger (4.56km) and Folkestone West (9.01km). Several well-regarded primary schools are within a short distance, including St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School (0.54km) and Saltwood Cofe Primary School (1.05km), offering families a good choice of education options. The average house price in the area is £498,567, with an average price per square foot of £393. Based on the images provided, the property appears to be a substantial detached house. While it offers considerable space (4,730 sqft) and a good-sized plot (3,465 sqft), the interior decor and overall presentation suggest the property is in need of modernisation and updating. The fixtures and fittings appear dated, and some areas might require repairs or renovations. The garden, while extensive, also looks somewhat overgrown and could benefit from landscaping. Considering the property’s size, location, and the need for potential renovation works, the list price of £1,250,000 warrants further investigation. While the house is large and the location is desirable, the condition and required improvements should be factored into a fair market valuation. The average price per sqft in the area (£393) is significantly lower than what the asking price implies. A detailed survey and costings for renovations would be essential to determine if the asking price represents good value.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
