Set back on a peaceful road in Broomfield, Herne Bay, this two-double-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends original 1871 character with useful modern comforts. The front living room centres on an exposed-brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point for colder months. Both bedrooms are generous doubles and the property enjoys private front and rear gardens plus a large summerhouse — great for outdoor relaxation or hobbies.
Practical benefits include private off-road parking and a garage, freehold tenure and chain-free sale, which can speed up moving. Broadband speeds are fast and local schools score well, making this an appealing home for small families or buyers seeking a manageable period property close to town amenities. The plot is a decent size for the area and the setting is quiet and suburban.
Buyers should note the house retains traditional solid-brick construction and original features, so there is little wall insulation as-built. Heating is currently by room heaters and wood logs (wood burner), so upgrading to full central heating or improving insulation would be a sensible early investment. Ceiling heights are modest in places and the layout is traditional, with one bathroom — suitable for average family use but less ideal for those needing multiple bathrooms.
Overall, this cottage offers immediate charm and usable space with clear potential: someone willing to carry out sympathetic improvements will benefit from preserved period detail, private gardens and useful outbuildings. It’s well suited to first-time buyers moving up, couples, or small families wanting character within easy reach of Herne Bay facilities.
