House For Sale £1,200,000
Just a stone's throw from the seafront at Western Esplanade is this impressive, double fronted, six bedroom detached Edwardian villa. With its fascinating belvedere observatory, sash bay windows, high chimney stacks, original first floor balcony and inset porch with an arched entrance and period front door it is unique and really stands out from its neighbours. It took the owners three years to complete the stunning restoration and refurbishment of this superb property and no effort or expense has been spared in creating a home that even the most discerning of homeowners would be proud to live in. While it has been modernised to provide everything needed for contemporary living this spacious house still retains a number of period features that give it so much character. These include fireplaces, high ceilings, wood flooring in all the reception rooms, picture and dado rails as well as Edwardian style floor tiles and the original staircase in the entrance hall. The three good sized reception rooms include an elegant sitting room with a large box bay window and an attractive fireplace with a log burner for those cold winter evenings. There is also a door through to the equally delightful family room that has an original mantle surround with an inset cast iron and tiled fireplace as well as French doors and steps down to the terrace. A very useful study is made even more charming by the reclaimed herringbone flooring, while every cook will be delighted with the gorgeous, bespoke kitchen/breakfast room incorporating Indian sandstone flooring and underfloor heating that flows through all of the ground floor. Hand built by a master joiner the modern units are impressive and house an integrated larder fridge and a dishwasher. There is an inset range cooker and a stunning central island/breakfast bar with a granite top as well as access to a large walk-in pantry, a downstairs cloakroom and a large utility room with a back door to the garden and a door to the garage. There are also a pair of attractive doors with charming glass inserts that open into the formal dining room. Guests will enjoy sitting down to a meal in this lovely room with its box bay window and a white pillared mantle surround with a cast iron and tiled fireplace.
What the Owner says:
We bought this house about six years ago and it was in a pretty parlous state so we spent three years completely renovating it including replumbing, new electrics, plastering and heating systems. We installed new doors, flooring and windows but everything was always in keeping with the age of the property. We have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past three years after the renovation was complete but we feel it is time to start a new chapter in our lives and hope another family will be able to enjoy and appreciate everything we have done to make this a very special home. We like living so close to the sea and Herne Bay is a charming Victorian seaside resort with its origins in the Georgian era. It includes an eclectic mix of independent shops, restaurants, two supermarkets and a weekly street market. Transport links are good with easy access to the Thanet Way for London, Canterbury and the Thanet towns while high speed trains from the station can take you to St Pancras in an hour and 20 minutes. Local primary schools include Herne Junior and Reculver Primary rated Outstanding by Ofsted and the Herne Bay High School that specialises in sport and includes hockey, gymnastics and cricket clubs. There is also the famous pier and a small harbour as well as sailing, rowing, angling tennis and football clubs while the beach has been awarded a blue flag
