This first-floor one-bedroom flat on Western Avenue offers a compact, coastal base within easy walking distance of Herne Bay’s beach, shops and transport links. The reception room benefits from a bay window and good natural light; the layout is straightforward and suits a single occupant, couple or landlord seeking a straightforward rental. Broadband and mobile signal are good, and council tax is low.
Buyers should note the property’s limitations: rooms and overall footprint are small (approximately 451 sq ft) and there is no private garden. The building is an early 20th-century mid-terrace with exterior brickwork showing wear and likely needing refurbishment. Walls are solid brick with no known insulation, and heating is by electric room heaters, so energy costs and thermal comfort may be an issue without improvement works.
Ownership information and charges are favourable in places: freehold tenure is stated, ground rent is minimal (£30 pa rising infrequently) and there are no service charges reported. The sellers also advise a brand-new lease will be created on sale — buyers should confirm the final legal position and lease terms with their solicitor.
This flat is best suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable seafront location or investors wanting a low-entry buy-to-let. It offers immediate use as a tidy, neutral one-bedroom home but carries clear refurbishment and energy-efficiency opportunities that will improve comfort and rental appeal.
