Central Parade, Herne Bay

'North Watch' is an enchanting Grade II Listed cottage set on the promenade along Herne Bay seafront with spectacular sea views.
The property has undergone extensive yet sympathetic restoration over recent years and it is believed that this and the adjoining cottage were built for two sisters in 1919 and the property is full of original features with panelled walls, fireplaces and stained glass to name just a few.
From the moment you step inside, the aroma of the log burner and views of the sea via the original leadlight windows takes you back to a bygone era and you immediately feel at home here.
Downstairs provides a lounge which leads onto a kitchen/diner with granite worktops and a fireplace with log burner. A very handy utility room is adjacent with matching granite worktops.
The first floor presents the main bedroom with direct sea views, a bathroom with roll top bath and a separate shower room with WC. A narrow staircase then rises to the second floor where two more bedrooms are found.
Externally, the property enjoys a sunny south facing rear garden which is tiered and has been landscaped with low maintenance in mind with a patio and artificial lawn complemented by railway sleepers.
A very rare and unique opportunity to acquire a property along the seafront in Herne Bay's fast up and coming conservation area. Whether it be a permanent residence, weekend home or a lucrative holiday let opportunity, make sure you do not miss out.
