FORMER GYM IN HYTHE WORKS OUT TO PRODUCE 2 NEW HOMES
The coastal Kent town made a top list of property hotspots primed to boom
No Use Empty (NUE) the pioneering empty homes initiative by Kent County Council (KCC), which creates new homes by bringing long-term empty properties back into use, today, announces the completion of its first project in Hythe, Kent creating two luxurious residential apartments from a property once used as a gym!.
Now transformed to an exceptionally high standard, this property once housed a gym over an end of terrace two-storey Edwardian building above a parade of shops situated at the northern end of the High Street. The conversion into 2 x 2 bed self-contained flats is now complete and marketed for sale, all thanks to No Use Empty.
Livingston Homes Limited acquired the leasehold in June 2014 and following planning permission granted by Shepway District Council have produced two brand new homes at a time when Hythe has just been announced in the Top 10 of places most likely to be a ‘property hotspot’ over the next few years.
The list – which was compiled by online estate agent HouseSimple – suggests that Hythe, a coastal town in Kent, has all the telltale signs that it’s an area on the up.
Those include things like quality schools, good transport links and a solid local economy. The small coastal town in Shepway seems to have all of these in bucket loads, with a mere few miles between the town and a station which can blast commuters to St Pancras in just 52 minutes. The town also boasts great views over the English Channel, and a vibrant local economy. Homebuyers with children are also in luck, with a wide variety of both primary and secondary education in the area.
One of the apartments is now available for £220,000 with the vendor paying the stamp duty.
