Description

This four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow presents an exciting renovation opportunity in the desirable coastal town of Herne Bay, positioned prominently on the Western Esplanade. With its enviable seafront position, the property offers expansive sea views, making it a rare find for those looking to invest in coastal living. Upon entry, a spacious hallway leads to several ground floor areas, including a generous lounge/diner that features a large bay window framing stunning vistas of the sea. The master bedroom enjoys similar views and has direct access to a convenient wet room via Jack & Jill doors, maximizing privacy for occupants and guests alike. In addition to the master suite, there's a versatile guest bedroom that could also serve as a functional home office. The rear of the property encompasses a sizable kitchen/breakfast area that opens into a conservatory overlooking the garden—an ideal spot for hosting gatherings or simply enjoying tranquil mornings. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide further accommodation along with another bathroom. Outside, both front and rear gardens offer potential for landscaping or outdoor leisure activities. Notably, there is lapsed planning permission in place for a roof extension with balcony (council Ref ca/20/02197) and plans for the demolition of an existing garage to construct a single-storey annex (council Ref ca/22/01927), providing avenues for further development should you choose. Herne Bay is well-regarded for its vibrant community and scenic walks along the coastline, coupled with local amenities such as shops and parks. This property offers significant potential for renovation with an emphasis on creating bespoke coastal living spaces that can cater to both family needs and investment goals.
