Quiet top-floor coastal flat offering a straightforward entry into Herne Bay living. The apartment is chain free with a 999-year share of freehold tenure, allocated off-street parking and direct access to the seafront and high street amenities. East-facing living room and west-facing double bedroom give both daytime sea views and evening sunsets.
The layout is compact and practical: open-plan living with a fitted kitchen and a separate bathroom. The building is Georgian, stone/brick-built and double-glazed; this gives character and good thermal mass but likely limited wall insulation. Service charge is modest for the area, keeping running costs predictable.
Buyers should note material concerns plainly: the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone and the neighbourhood records higher crime rates. The building appears to pre-date 1900 and may need ongoing maintenance or sympathetic updating; walls are likely solid brick with no built-in insulation. This is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking seaside proximity or an investor targeting short-term holiday lets, but factor in insurance and flood-related precautions.
Overall, this is a low-hassle purchase for someone wanting immediate access to the promenade and local shops, with long lease security and parking included. Expect to budget for potential retrofit work, flood mitigation measures and routine maintenance typical of older terrace buildings.
