Set within a beautiful Victorian end-of-terrace building on the highly sought-after Douglas Road, Herne Bay. This well-presented two bedroom first floor apartment offers an inviting blend of period character, modern upgrades, and the exceptional benefit of a private west-facing garden. The property is offered with a share of the freehold, adding long-term appeal and peace of mind for prospective purchasers.<br/><br/>The apartment is accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance and features a bright and comfortable lounge, complemented by two bedrooms, one being a generous double and the other ideal as a guest room, nursery, or home office. A fitted kitchen/breakfast room, replaced within the last couple of years, provides a modern and practical space for everyday living, while the bathroom completes the accommodation. Further benefits include a recently installed Worcester Bosch combi boiler, ensuring efficient and reliable heating and hot water.<br/><br/>A truly standout feature of this home is the private west-facing garden. Private outdoor space is exceptionally rare for a first-floor apartment, particularly within a Victorian conversion, and this garden offers an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying evening sun. Its orientation provides excellent natural light and makes it a valuable extension of the living accommodation.<br/><br/>Douglas Road is one of central Herne Bay’s most popular residential roads, prized for its convenience and character. The apartment is ideally positioned for easy access to Herne Bay town centre, the seafront, train station, and a wide range of shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants. Local schools, green spaces, and leisure facilities are also close at hand, making the area attractive to a broad demographic of buyers, including first-time purchasers, professionals, downsizers, and investors alike.<br/><br/>The combination of a prime central location, period charm, modern improvements, share of freehold, and the highly unusual benefit of a private garden makes this a particularly appealing and rarely available first-floor apartment in the heart of Herne Bay.<br/><br/> Identification Checks<br/>If an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Miles & Barr, all purchasers are required to complete ID verification checks.
