Just under 1200SqFt of internal accommodation set back on a private and secluded plot exceeding 500 sq.m, this charming and highly versatile three or four-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a prime position on the ever-popular Douglas Road, just moments from Herne Bay town centre. Properties of this type and setting are exceptionally rare, particularly those offering such a high degree of privacy, generous living space, and extensive off-road parking so close to the heart of town.
The accommodation is exceptionally flexible, with large, well-proportioned rooms throughout, allowing reception areas and bedrooms to be configured to suit a wide variety of lifestyles. This versatility makes the home equally well suited to families, couples, downsizers, or those working from home, while the generous room sizes set it apart from many bungalows currently available. The layout lends itself perfectly to modern living, with excellent flow, abundant natural light, and scope for future adaptation if desired.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is off-road parking for four to five vehicles, a rare benefit for a central location. The home is further enhanced by a substantial workshop measuring approximately 10' x 16', constructed using panel build and abutting the driveway, offering excellent potential for hobbies, storage, home business use, or possible conversion, subject to requirements. The surrounding gardens provide a wonderful sense of seclusion, creating a peaceful retreat despite the highly convenient setting.
Few detached properties within such close proximity to the town centre can offer this combination of space, privacy, parking, and plot size, making this an increasingly hard-to-find opportunity.
Douglas Road is ideally positioned for those seeking walkable access to everything Herne Bay has to offer. The seafront and beach are within easy reach, perfect for coastal walks and leisure time, while the town centre provides a vibrant mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and everyday amenities. Herne Bay mainline railway station is also close by, delivering excellent commuter links to Canterbury, London, and the wider Kent area.
The vendor has already secured a chain-free onward purchase, allowing for a smooth and efficient transaction. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow of such scale and privacy in one of Herne Bay’s most desirable and convenient locations.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, flexibility, and lifestyle on offer.
