For sale by Modern Method of Auction; Starting Bid Price £230,000 plus Reservation Fee. Cash Buyers Only Auction Ending 28th Of October at 12.00.

Situated on Margate Road in the highly regarded village of Broomfield, on the outskirts of Herne Bay, this handsome three bedroom period detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character property with significant potential. Believed to date from the interwar period of the 1920s–1930s, the house is designed in a Tudor Revival style, a particularly attractive and sought-after architectural form. The property is offered to the market chain free.

Externally, the home makes a striking impression with its mock-Tudor upper elevations, contrasting red brick ground floor, and a steeply pitched tiled roof, all combining to create incredible kerb appeal. A charming canopied entrance porch further enhances the traditional character, while the detached garage and driveway to the side reflect the generous proportions typical of homes from this era.

Internally, the property retains a wealth of original period features, including exposed beams and two large fireplaces, which form attractive focal points within the principal reception rooms. The ground floor offers well-proportioned accommodation comprising a separate lounge and dining room, both enjoying good natural light via double aspect windows and a strong sense of character, alongside a kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom facilities.

To the first floor are three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom, with all rooms benefiting from the solid construction and balanced layout synonymous with interwar detached homes.

Although the property now requires modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for buyers to sympathetically update and enhance a home of genuine character, creating a bespoke residence while retaining its original charm. Broomfield remains a highly desirable village location, known for its coastal and field walks, open spaces, and strong community feel, yet still within easy reach of Herne Bay town centre, the seafront, local amenities, schools, and transport links, as well as convenient post office across the road and well-regarded community pub a short walk away. A characterful period home with architectural presence, original features, a large garage, and excellent potential, offered chain free in a prime village setting.
