2 bed flat for sale

Station Road, Herne Bay CT6

No chain - A substantial ground floor flat covering 1075 sq ft (99.95 sq m) in the prestigious St Mary's Court, formerly known as The Grand Hotel which was built in 1899. In its heyday, it was considered one of the most luxurious hotels in the area and during World War II, the hotel was occupied by the military. The building was then converted into luxury apartments in the 1990's and renamed St Mary's Court.
This particular apartment is one of the largest in St Mary's Court and sits on the southern side of the building with natural light flooding in abundance. The apartment has its own private entrance to the rear but can also be accessed via the main grand entrance hall.
Everything about this property is spacious from its large rooms and wonderfully high ceilings, you certainly don't feel like you're in an apartment. The generous lounge has three double height windows allowing that sun to shine through all day long and the kitchen/breakfast room has a lovely dual-aspect. There are two double bedrooms (master en-suite) and a very handy separate study whilst a large wet-room concludes this unique property.
The rear door from the kitchen/breakfast room leads, via steps, directly onto the communal garden and allocated parking is provided in the car park nearby where visitor parking is also available.
Overall, a very unique opportunity to acquire one of the finest apartments in this landmark building just mere yards from the train station, perfect for commuters and also within walking distance of the town centre and seafront.
