Very long lease (over 900 years) and chain free
Close to seafront, town centre shops and local amenities

This first-floor one-bedroom flat in Herne Bay offers a compact coastal base close to the seafront and town centre. At about 414 sq ft, the layout is traditional with high ceilings in the principal rooms and period features, giving scope to create a bright, characterful home.
The property requires renovation throughout: the bathroom and kitchen need updating and the building has secondary glazing, electric storage heating and solid brick walls with assumed no insulation. EPC is 59. Practical positives include a very long lease (over 900 years remaining), no forward chain and low council tax.
The location is a key selling point — immediate access to the seafront, shops and local amenities and good digital connectivity (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal). Note the wider area scores high for deprivation and recorded high local crime; buyers should weigh location benefits against these local factors.
Suitable for a first-time buyer wanting a budget entry into coastal living or an investor seeking a refurb project with potential rental demand. The flat’s small footprint and dated condition mean savings are possible on purchase price but expect refurbishment costs and to confirm service charges and ground rent before committing.
