Property description
YOU WILL BE AMAZED at the sheer size of this incredibly deceptive Victorian property which is located just off the seafront within a quiet and historic square. The word 'Tardis' is widely used when describing property, but there really is no other word to emphasise how deceptive this home is. Although classed as a terraced property, it is only connected by two rooms and is therefore mostly detached.Four good size bedrooms are on offer with three reception rooms that include a large 'L' shape kitchen/family room that overlooks the secluded patio gardens which face south and bask in sunshine throughout the day. Two bathrooms also benefit the property with the added bonus of a downstairs WC.The gardens encompass the property and have been landscaped for low maintenance in mind with block paved patios and established flower beds to perimeter.The potential with this 'one off' home is endless and could be a truly spectacular property. We are personally of strong opinion that you will find it hard to rival the accommodation on offer. We highly advise an early viewing appointment to avoid disappointment. Call the sole agents, Kent Estate Agencies on 01227 367441.
Property History The property is thought to date around 1878 following the demolition of an old mill that occupied the site. Sea View Square was then developed and numbers 4, 5 and 6 were known as Saint Saviours Grange, Home of Rest for Women and Girls. The home was run by an order of nuns until the 1950's when they moved to a new Colt house built at the top of Mickleburgh Hill.
Location You will find Sea View Square within the Conservation Area just off the seafront at Central Parade and within close proximity of the fast 'up-and-coming' Herne Bay town centre with its variety of independent shops, schools, and mainstream supermarkets. The seafront has an array of period architecture ranging from Regency, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties. Excellent transport links are also nearby with Herne Bay mainline railway station approximately 0.8 miles away providing fast and frequent links to London (Victoria approximately 85 mins). The A299 providing direct links to London is also just moments away.
