Built in 2021, the apartment forms part of a contemporary development and offers approximately 557 sq ft of well-designed accommodation. Its corner position within the building is a particular advantage, with additional windows helping to create a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere throughout.

The heart of the home is the impressive 22'3 open-plan kitchen/living room, providing a superb amount of space for both relaxing and entertaining. The room is further enhanced by its large windows, which allow natural light to flood into the accommodation and create a real sense of openness. The combination of the generous proportions, large windows and corner position gives this living space a noticeably brighter feel than many comparable apartments.

The contemporary kitchen is seamlessly incorporated into the room and provides a practical and sociable setting for everyday living, with a range of fitted units and integrated appliances. There is ample space for comfortable seating and dining, making this an ideal environment for both relaxing at home and entertaining guests.

The bedroom is equally impressive in size, measuring approximately 14'1 x 10'4, and offers plenty of space for bedroom furniture while maintaining a comfortable and airy feel. A modern bathroom completes the accommodation. The apartment is presented in very good condition throughout, allowing a prospective purchaser to move straight in and enjoy the home with minimal fuss.

Further benefits include an allocated parking space, valuable for both owner-occupiers and tenants, together with the convenience of ground-floor living. The property also benefits from an exceptionally long 995-year lease, offering excellent long-term security.

Steel Close forms part of a modern residential development conveniently positioned for access to the amenities of Herne Bay. The town centre offers a wide selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday facilities, while the attractive seafront and promenade provide an excellent setting for walks, cycling and enjoying the coastal lifestyle.

Herne Bay railway station and the nearby A299/Thanet Way are also readily accessible, offering convenient transport links towards Canterbury, London and the wider Kent area.

Offered with no onward chain, this beautifully presented and particularly bright one-bedroom ground floor apartment combines approximately 557 sq ft of generously proportioned accommodation with a superb 22'3 open-plan living space, impressive large windows, a desirable corner position, allocated parking and an exceptional 995-year lease.
