3 bed Detached House
£475,000
Alma Road, Herne Bay
NO CHAIN - Presented to the market for the first time in 45 years, this 1930's detached home is positioned in a highly desirable location on the East Cliff, just around the corner from stunning seafront walks on 'The Downs'.
The property sits on a 49' (15.09m) wide plot with further potential to extend (subject to necessary consents being obtained).
There are four reception rooms, a kitchen and downstairs WC to the ground floor. One of the reception rooms has independent access from the front of the property meaning this area of the property could be adapted as annexe accommodation if required.
Moving upstairs and the first floor presents three bedrooms and a large family bathroom with both a bath and shower cubicle. There are even glimpses of the sea from Bedroom One and Bedroom Three!
Externally, the rear garden has a sunny southerly aspect, enjoying sunshine throughout the day.
The location of this property is key and presents a very rare opportunity for somebody to be able to stamp their own mark on a home so close to the sea.
