Property description
Forming part of a premier row of seafront Regency properties is this attractive grade II listed marine residence. This substantial property has been improved and carefully extended over the years but still offers the new owner a blank canvas to create that truly spectacular dream home by the sea. The property still retains some period features that include fireplaces, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and original solid wood floor boards. Picture windows look seaward from many rooms enjoying views over the marina and extensive views along the coastline and Waltrop Gardens.Arranged over four floors, the main property provides superior sized accommodation with all rooms of elegant proportions offering five bedrooms, two primary reception rooms, kitchen/dining area and a family bathroom. The kitchen/dining area is currently unfinished and this area will create a stunning sociable room to cook and entertain from. A self contained annex then provides two bedrooms, lounge, shower room and a modern kitchen. This completely independent area offers a variety of options and could perhaps prove ideal for somebody working from home or as a holiday let? However the annex can easily be reinstated back to the main residence. Externally the property benefits from a 43ft south facing walled courtyard garden which includes gated off-road parking to the rear. This is accessed via a shared driveway from neighbouring Richmond Street. This is an exceedingly rare opportunity within an incredibly sought after location of Herne Bay's very popular seafront. All interested parties are urged to act quickly to avoid disappointment. Call the sole agents, Kent Estate Agencies on 01227 367441.
