If you are looking for a quirky, easy to run detached bungalow with uninterrupted sea views as a permanent home or weekend and holiday retreat this unusual home could be top of your list. You will find it in an elevated position opposite the beach, with views as far as Sheppey and Southend.

It is open plan to the sitting area that includes a 360 degree log burner, solid wood flooring and a box bay window with floor to ceiling picture windows and a door to the balcony.

There is a family bathroom, cloakroom, understairs storage, three double bedrooms and stairs leading up to a stunning light and bright vaulted room with triple aspect windows and great views. At the rear of the property is a wraparound path, steps up to a secluded paved terrace with shrub beds, a hot tub with a sea view and a hobby room. There are also outdoor storage areas, a woodshed and a door to the garage.

What the Owner says:

We moved here nine years ago when we fell in love with the views but we have now decided to live abroad. The bungalow was in a parlous state when we bought it so we refurbished inside and out and built the upstairs room. We have a good pub within a minute's walk and a convenience store nearby while you can walk to the station where the high speed train gets to London in under an hour and a half and it is only a couple of minutes' drive to the Thanet Way. Herne Bay includes independent shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and an historic pier. There is sailing and jet skiing and the nearby Whitstable and Seasalter or Chestfield golf clubs, good primary schools including Herne C of E Junior rated Outstanding by Ofsted and a number of excellent secondary grammar and private schools in Canterbury, Thanet, Faversham and Sandwich. We are also only 10-15 minutes drive from Whitstable fishing harbour, town, shops and restaurants.
