Douglas Road, Herne Bay, Kent, CT6

Set back on a private and secluded plot exceeding 500m2, this charming and versatile Three or Four bedroom detached bungalow is located on the ever-popular Douglas Road, Herne Bay. 33 Douglas Road and two neighbouring bungalows were individually designed and built in the late 1920s. The home is rich in character and showcases a distinctive Dutch sloping roof, which creates beautiful domed arches internally, adding a unique sense of charm and architectural interest throughout.

The accommodation is both flexible and spacious, offering a layout that can easily adapt to a variety of lifestyles. Reception rooms and bedrooms can be arranged to suit individual needs, making the property ideal for families, downsizers, or those working from home. Large windows and the home’s sunny aspect allow natural light to flow throughout, while the generous plot provides a peaceful and private setting rarely found so close to the town centre.

Externally, the property benefits from ample off-road parking for four to five vehicles to the front. The current owner has elected to replace the former garage with a substantial wooden workshop, ideal for hobbies, storage, or further potential subject to requirements. The surrounding gardens enhance the sense of seclusion and offer excellent outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.

Location is a key highlight, with the property perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Herne Bay has to offer on foot. The seafront and beach are within easy walking distance, ideal for coastal walks and family days out, while Herne Bay train station provides convenient links for commuters. The high street, with its range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and amenities, is also close by, ensuring day-to-day convenience without the need for a car.

The vendor has already found a chain-free property to move to, making this a rare and appealing opportunity to secure a characterful and versatile home in one of Herne Bay’s most desirable and walkable locations.
