About this property
This newly renovated, dog-friendly, character three-bedroom cottage is perfectly placed between the quaint seaside towns of Hythe and Sandgate. Close to local shops cafes, restaurants and pubs, and just 0.4 miles from the beautiful, unspoilt beach, making it a fantastic base for enjoying everything this corner of Kent has to offer. Historic Hythe marks the start of the Royal Military Canal – a scenic route for dog walks and bike rides. Families will love hopping aboard the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Steam Railway, which travels to the wild, windswept Dungeness –home to Derek Jarman’s iconic Prospect Cottage.
