Une Grande Maison Côtière De Cinq Chambres Occupant Une Position Enviable Sur Cliff Road, Avec De Généreuses

St Andrews House, Cliff Road, Hythe, Kent

A substantial five-bedroom coastal house occupying an enviable position on Cliff Road, with generous proportions, far-reaching potential and an exceptional opportunity to create a distinguished contemporary family home.

St Andrews House is an impressive freehold residence of approximately 239 sq m (2,577 sq ft), occupying a highly desirable position in Hythe, one of Kent’s most established coastal towns. Set close to the sea and within easy reach of the town’s historic High Street, the property combines an appealing coastal lifestyle with excellent access to London, the Channel Tunnel and the wider Kent countryside.

The house offers an exciting opportunity for thoughtful remodelling and interior design, providing a rare blank canvas from which to create a home entirely tailored to the incoming purchaser’s vision. Its generous proportions, five bedrooms and four bathrooms provide an excellent foundation for contemporary family living, while its position on sought-after Cliff Road further enhances the appeal.

Hythe itself has retained much of the character that makes the Kent coast so appealing. The historic High Street is lined with independent shops, cafés, delicatessens and restaurants, while the seafront and long promenade provide an enviable setting for walking, cycling and enjoying the coast. The Royal Military Canal runs through the town, offering a peaceful green corridor and an additional recreational amenity.

There is also an increasingly sophisticated lifestyle on offer nearby, with Folkestone within easy reach. Its regenerated harbour, Harbour Arm, Creative Quarter, galleries, independent retailers and restaurants have established the town as one of the most vibrant destinations on the Kent coast.

Education

The area is particularly well served for education, with a choice of highly regarded independent and selective schools within convenient travelling distance. The King’s School, Canterbury, together with Junior King’s, provides one of the region’s best-known independent school options; the school notes direct rail connections from London and its senior school is located in the historic centre of Canterbury.

For families considering selective education, The Harvey Grammar School in Folkestone is a selective boys’ grammar school for ages 11–18, while The Folkestone School for Girls provides selective education for girls aged 11–18. Other independent options in the wider area include schools in Folkestone, Canterbury and Ashford, providing considerable choice according to age and educational preference.

Connections

Despite its coastal setting, St Andrews House is exceptionally well placed for access to London and the continent. Folkestone Central offers direct high-speed services to London St Pancras, with journeys taking approximately 54 minutes, making London readily accessible for both commuting and leisure.

The Channel Tunnel is also close at hand, while Dover provides ferry connections to France. Canterbury, Ashford and the wider Kent countryside are all readily accessible by road, making the property particularly well suited to those looking to combine a coastal base with convenient regional and international connections.

The opportunity

St Andrews House offers something increasingly difficult to find on the Kent coast: a substantial house in an established and highly desirable position, with the scale and potential to create a truly individual home.

Whether conceived as a sophisticated permanent family residence, a coastal retreat or a London-connected second home, the property offers an unusually compelling combination of space, location and future potential.
