Property Information

A GRAND SEAFRONT HOME WITH SELF CONTAINED ANNEXE... A magnificent Edwardian residence covering an impressive 3,982 sq ft (369 sq m) and forming part of a premier seafront terrace with spectacular sea views and the benefit of a self contained one bedroom, ground floor annexe flat.
Formerly known as 1 Marina Crescent, it is a rarity for a house of this stature to come to market and you will find it very hard to find another property quite like it. The grand entrance hall is reminiscent of an old hotel foyer with a beautiful central staircase which sprawls over 3 floors. The main residence is currently arranged with four bedrooms and four reception rooms with the main living accommodation at first floor level to maximise the costal vistas. The ground floor annexe flat has independent access from the rear garden and is exceptionally spacious with a large double bedroom, lounge, kitchen and shower room. This proves perfect for elderly family members or adult children seeking independence. However, this may also provide a lucrative holiday let opportunity.
Externally, the property boasts a south facing courtyard rear garden which also provides access to the detached double garage with driveway in front.
All in all, an extremely rare opportunity to acquire one of the last remaining Edwardian houses along the seafront of Herne Bay.
