Set on Herne Bay’s popular seafront, this one-bedroom apartment offers direct coastal views from the lounge and bedroom and sits within easy walking distance of the train station. The flat is in good condition throughout, with a recently renovated shower room and a modern open-plan kitchen/lounge that makes the most of the light and outlook.
Sold at auction with no onward chain, the purchase route is the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should budget for additional upfront auction costs: a non-refundable reservation fee (4.2% of purchase price, minimum £6,000) plus a buyer information pack fee (£349). The property is leasehold (108 years remaining), with a modest ground rent and below-average service charge.
Practical features include electric storage heating and solid brick construction. The apartment’s compact 474 sq ft layout and average overall size suit a single buyer, couple or investor seeking a low-maintenance seaside bolt-hole. Be aware the local area records higher crime and very high deprivation indices, which may affect long-term rental demand and resale expectations.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor who values location and sea views and is comfortable with auction timelines and leasehold ownership. Due diligence is essential: check the buyer pack, verify lease terms and running costs, and consider a survey to confirm condition and insulation assumptions.
