Exceptional One-Bedroom Ground Floor Apartment with Freehold, Private Garden & Driveway with EV Charger
Occupying the entire ground floor of this attractive Victorian building on the highly sought-after Douglas Road, this exceptionally spacious one-bedroom apartment presents a rare opportunity to acquire not only a beautifully proportioned home but also the freehold of the building.
Offering approximately 723 sq.ft. of accommodation, a private rear garden, off-street parking with an EV charging point and exciting potential to reconfigure the layout into a two-bedroom apartment (subject to any necessary consents), this is a truly unique property that will appeal to a wide range of purchasers.
Beautifully presented throughout, the apartment boasts generous room proportions more commonly associated with a house than a traditional apartment. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a bright and elegant 15' living room, filled with natural light and offering an inviting space in which to relax. A separate dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining and family meals, while also offering excellent flexibility for those looking to create an additional bedroom or home office in the future.
The well-appointed kitchen enjoys ample worktop and storage space, while the exceptionally generous 22' bedroom provides a wonderful retreat, complete with extensive fitted wardrobes and the luxury of its own en-suite bathroom. A separate cloakroom/WC further enhances the practicality of the accommodation for both residents and guests.
One of the property's most appealing features is its versatility. With accommodation already extending to over 720 sq.ft., the apartment offers similar floor space to many two-bedroom properties. Subject to a purchaser's requirements and any necessary consents, the existing layout could be sympathetically reconfigured to create a second bedroom while still retaining comfortable living accommodation, making this an excellent long-term investment.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The private rear garden provides a peaceful and secluded outdoor space, ideal for relaxing, entertaining or gardening, while the driveway offers convenient off-street parking and benefits from an installed EV charging point, perfectly suited to modern living.
Douglas Road remains one of Herne Bay's most desirable residential addresses, perfectly positioned within comfortable walking distance of the bustling town centre, picturesque seafront and historic promenade. An excellent range of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities are all close by, while Herne Bay railway station offers high-speed services to London, making the property equally appealing to commuters. Excellent road links via the A299 also provide straightforward access to Canterbury, Whitstable and Thanet, ensuring everyday convenience is never far away.
Combining the security and practicality of ground-floor living with the added benefit of owning the freehold of the building, this outstanding apartment offers an increasingly rare opportunity within the local market. With its generous accommodation, private garden, driveway with EV charging, excellent location and exciting potential to create a two-bedroom home, this is a property that stands head and shoulders above the competition and is certain to attract significant interest. Early viewing is highly recommended.
