Spacious 802 sq ft flat with high ceilings and bay-front lounge
Modern fitted kitchen and stylish bathroom — move-in ready
Long leasehold but confirm exact term and service charges
Ground rent £250 per year; tenure is leasehold
High flood risk for the area — obtain flood insurance quotes
Local area: very high crime and very deprived — consider security
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — potential energy upgrades needed
This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a detached Victorian building within easy walking distance of Herne Bay town centre, railway station and seafront. High ceilings and a bay-front lounge give the apartment period character and a bright, airy feel. The modern fitted kitchen and stylish bathroom mean the property is largely turnkey for immediate occupation.
The layout offers two double bedrooms, including one with fitted storage, and around 802 sq ft of accommodation — spacious for a flat and attractive to buyers wanting more room than a typical apartment. The long lease and relatively low council tax are practical benefits for both owner-occupiers and buy-to-let purchasers.
Buyers should note material negatives clearly: the area records very high crime and very high flood risk, and the wider locality is recorded as very deprived. The building is of solid brick construction (circa 1900–1929) and likely has no cavity insulation in the walls, which may affect heating costs despite mains gas central heating. Ground rent is £250 and the tenure is leasehold — confirm lease length and service charges before committing.
Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking a spacious period apartment near the sea and transport links who accepts some locality risk and potential energy-efficiency work. It can work as a comfortable primary home or a straightforward rental, but purchasers should carry out flood, security and lease enquiries as part of their due diligence.
