5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Herne Bay

NO CHAIN - A striking and most unique residence situated in an elevated position just off the seafront with spectacular views over Hampton Bay, providing some of the best sunsets you will find along the North Kent Coast.
Designed to maximise the 180 degree coastal vista, the main living accommodation is at first floor level with a west facing balcony sprawling across the front, the perfect vantage point to enjoy those sunsets, whilst the entirety of the ground floor could easily be used as self contained annexe accommodation for a family member.
The second floor is a recent addition where the views just get even better. This huge room with impressive apex window and doors that open to a balcony is currently used as an additional sitting room but an en-suite has been added so that it can be the 'Principal Bedroom' if required.
Altogether there are four bedrooms, a study, utility room (second kitchen), two modern shower rooms, an open plan kitchen, lounge/diner and the spectacular second floor reception/bedroom.
Externally, the rear garden has been planned with low maintenance in mind with raised deck seating areas strategically placed to enjoy the sunshine with views of the sea.
The frontage is generous and a driveway provides off-road parking which could easily be made wider if required. This leads to an integral garage with remote controlled electric door.
A very distinctive home offering a lifestyle that can only be envied. Call the exclusive sole agents, Kent Estate Agencies to arrange your viewing appointment.
