Houses and flats to rent in Hythe

Hythe lettings agency

The Hythe office opened in 2010 and covers Hythe and the surrounding countryside.

 

Martin & Co in Hythe offer a second to none service for residential lettings in the Hythe area.  We have quickly established our reputation through top quality professional services to private landlords, property investors and discerning tenants. In a recent independent survey 96% of our landlords consider our service to be either good or excellent (ESTAs, 2010). Our clients provided feedback on a number of subjects from the quality of our range of services, the standard of our marketing for their properties, communication during the letting process and, of course, our managed services.  As result of that feedback your local  Martin & Co was voted one of the top 100 letting agents in the whole of the UK two years running.

Live and rent in Hythe

Hythe’s  alluring coastline and reliable weather are certainly an attraction coupled a perfect blend of city, coast and countryside, thereby ensuring that whatever your interests are, you will certainly be spoilt for choice.  

 

The Royal Military Canal Path runs for 28 miles along the entire length of the Royal Military Canal from Seabrook, Kent to Cliff End in East Sussex and forms the heart of Hythe’s parks and wildlife.  Walking along the quiet canal banks today it is easy to forget that this was once the scene of intense military activity.  Now, much of the drama on the canal comes from the variety of wildlife that has made the canal its home.

 

The Hythe Venetian Fete is a tableau of decorated floats in various themes, historical and topical.  In 1928 the Hythe Venetian Fete was held as the town's independent attraction.  Held on the Royal Military Canal in the Town of Hythe every second year on the third Wednesday in August, the Fete attracts an audience of thousands from far and wide.  There are two processions of up to 40 floats, first in daylight, and then again after dark illuminated.

 

Sandling railway station serves Sandling in Kent, England. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by Southeastern. The station is also 7 km (4½ miles) west of Folkestone Central on the South Eastern Main Line. It is the closest station to the town of Hythe.  Folkestone's new high speed rail link brings it within commuting distance to London and the Channel Tunnel link makes a day trip to France both convenient and enjoyable.

 

The Hythe Sailing Club is a family-friendly sailing club, with ready access to safe dinghy sailing waters and The Solent, Isle of Wight and beyond.  Membership is currently around 300 and with swinging moorings and pound space available for both cruisers and dinghies.  The Club welcomes new members.

 

A popular family orientated park, Brockhill Country Park has lots to offer, from its rich variety of wildlife, to its wonderful walks.  The park, once part of the estate of a Norman manor, has a central lake and full facilities for a family day out, including refreshments.  The park is rich in wildlife, including marbled white butterflies, green woodpeckers and carpets of snowdrops. It is also a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.

 

The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway is a 15 inch gauge light railway. As well as being a tourist attraction, this railway is a public service between the small towns and villages between Hythe and Dungeness and is under contract to the local council to transport children to and from The Marsh Academy in New Romney. The railway is expanding its role as part of the public transport network.

 

Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, nestled in the Kent countryside and a stone’s throw from Hythe, offers an exciting day out filled with discovery for the entire family. Set in 600 acres, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park offers a treat for everyone.  Along with our Siberian and Indian tigers, Barbary lions, small cats, monkeys and many other rare and endangered species, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park is home to the largest breeding herd of black rhinos outside of Africa.  They're also home to the largest gorillarium in the world, "The Palace of the Apes", home to a family group of Gorillas fed at 12 noon and 3:00pm daily offering an un-paralleled view of this mightiest of apes.

 

Sandgate is a lovely place for a meal and a drink on a summer's evening. Alternatively if you love seafood, the Hythe Bay Seafood Restaurant & Bar in town is the place to go. There is loads of new development going on in the Hythe area, which is attracting new residents.  

If you're visiting Hythe and require a local hotel, the website hotelsnearthechanneltunnel.co.uk provides information about a wide range of hotels to suit any budget. 

 

We have a long waiting list of tenants looking for three bedroom houses in the Hythe area which has been created by a strong demand for family homes near the fast train to London.  We work with a whole range of landlords from private landlords to developers and property managers.
