This mid-terraced Edwardian home on Kings Road offers practical living in a central, convenient Herne Bay location. Two reception rooms, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and an enclosed rear garden make it well suited to a small family, professional couple or buy-to-let purchaser seeking immediate occupation. The property is freehold and offered with no onward chain, allowing a straightforward move.
The house has useful features including a bay-fronted sitting room with an ornate brick fireplace, a dining room with double doors onto a sunny patio, and built-in storage in the master bedroom. Gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal are positives for everyday comfort and connectivity. Council Tax Band B is comparatively inexpensive.
Buyers should note some important practical concerns. The area records very high crime levels and the locality is classified as very deprived, which will affect resale and rental demand for some purchasers. The property sits in a high flood-risk area. The external walls are solid brick and likely lack cavity insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work should be considered. The overall plot and internal size are small, limiting extension potential.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented terrace with ready-to-live-in accommodation and clear potential for modest enhancement. It will appeal most to first-time buyers or investors who prioritise central location, no chain and low running council tax, but anyone purchasing should factor in flood risk, local crime statistics and possible energy-efficiency improvements.
