Richmond Street, Herne Bay, Kent

**PRICE RANGE £260,000–£270,000**

There’s a lot to love about this home, but the space you’re getting for your money really deserves a mention. Three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, your own front door and a garden, all arranged over three floors and just steps from the seafront.

This has been the same family’s home for 21 years. They’ve brought up their children here, watched them go through the local schools and enjoyed having so much on their doorstep. Now it’s time for their next chapter, and a chance for someone new to make their own memories here.

It’s a maisonette with its own personality. The different levels, character features and little quirks give it a lovely sense of individuality, while the rooms offer proper, usable space.

The lounge with a broad bay window, decorative cornicing and a log burner beneath a chunky timber mantel.

It’s an inviting place to get comfortable, especially when the evenings draw in. A wide opening leads through to the dining room, so there’s room to have everyone around the table without giving up your living space.

The bedrooms are a real highlight. All three are double rooms you can settle into, with space for more than just a bed.

The kitchen has plenty of character too, with solid wood cupboards and contrasting worktops. Step through the glazed door onto the raised decked terrace, where you can take your coffee outside, then follow the steps down into the enclosed garden. With shingle, stepping stones, raised planting beds and a shed, there’s space to enjoy the sunshine and make it your own.

Newly fitted double-glazed sash windows and share of freehold add to the appeal, but what makes this home special is the whole combination: the space, the character, the outside areas and the location.

And the location really is lovely. Walk towards one end of Richmond Street and you’re at the bandstand and Herne Bay seafront; head the other way and you have Memorial Park. Shops, cafés and places to eat are close by, so whether it’s a walk by the water, a trip into town or some time in the park, you’re right in the middle of it all.

A much loved home with a slightly different layout, plenty of personality and an incredible amount of space for the money.
