This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Queens Gardens offers a spacious, well-lit layout and a long lease, suitable for a first home or buy-to-let. The lounge to the front captures good natural light while two rear bedrooms and bathroom provide quieter sleeping accommodation. The separate kitchen is practical for everyday use and entertaining.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-road parking space, recent right-to-manage arrangements for the building, and mains gas central heating. The property sits a short walk from Herne Bay seafront, the town centre, train station and local amenities — convenient for commuters and seaside living.
Known positives are the long lease (about 124 years remaining), reasonable running costs and proximity to well-regarded local schools. Drawbacks to note: the EPC is rated D (68), the building dates from 1930–1949 with timber-frame walls (additional insulation noted), and there are ongoing service charges and ground rent (approx. £150pcm maintenance, £150pa ground rent). The local area shows high crime and high deprivation indicators — buyers should consider location impacts on lifestyle and rental demand.
Overall this is a straightforward, low‑maintenance flat with clear investment or owner-occupier potential. It will particularly suit buyers wanting central seafront access and secure parking, while those seeking a completely modern, low‑maintenance fabric should budget for updates and be mindful of local area statistics.
