Hazlemere Drive, Herne Bay

Situated on this prestigious private road in Beltinge, just yards from the stunning seafront, Little Orchard is a substantial and beautifully presented 1930's detached residence extending to approximately 3,462 sq ft (321.7 sq m), set within a sumptuous 0.25 acre plot.
The property boasts an impressive 107' (32.64m) frontage, secured by two five bar gates which open onto an expansive carriage driveway providing extensive off-road parking and excellent garaging.

During the current owners' 21-year tenure, the property has undergone significant refurbishment and remodelling, resulting in an elegant and highly versatile home offering rooms of exceptional proportion, alongside the valuable addition of a self-contained one-bedroom annexe - ideal for a dependent relative, visiting guests, or an adult child seeking independence.

The main house features three generously sized reception rooms, with the standout being the magnificent lounge. This vast living space is flooded with natural light thanks to trifold doors opening onto the garden, roof lantern skylights, and a striking porthole feature window. A contemporary log burner provides a warm focal point, while hot water underfloor heating lies beneath polished porcelain flooring, enhancing both comfort and style.
The contemporary kitchen/breakfast room is sleek and well-appointed, featuring curved gloss cabinetry beautifully complemented by quartz worktops, creating a stylish and highly functional space.
Occupying the right-hand side of the ground floor, the self-contained annexe provides excellent independent accommodation with its own lounge, double bedroom, kitchen, and shower room with WC.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress. The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, located at each end of the house, enhancing the sense of space and flexibility. There are three exceptionally large bedrooms, each with individual character and charm. The principal suite benefits from an en-suite/dressing room, while a stunning family bathroom fitted with high-quality sanitary ware completes the accommodation.

Externally, the 63' x 84' (19.14m x 25.79m) rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect, ensuring sunshine throughout the day and providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. A large summer house with power offers a wonderful retreat in all seasons, while a large workshop and two separate garages provide excellent space for hobbies, storage, or projects.

Overall, 'Little Orchard' is a truly unique and deceptively spacious home offering an enviable coastal lifestyle. Opportunities to acquire such a distinctive property in this highly desirable location are exceptionally rare.
