Full property description

An enchanting three-bedroom period property, rich in character and steeped in history, dating back to the mid-1800s. Once a grand Manor House designed and built by George Burge who also constructed Herne Bays first pier the property has served various roles over the years, including as a boys school and a hotel. In the 1960s, the Manor House was thoughtfully divided into four distinctive dwellings, each retaining original architectural features such as high ceilings, intricate architraves, original cornicing, and elegant panelling.

The current owners, with a keen eye for interior design, have embraced the homes heritage by furnishing it with antique pieces and refined styling that beautifully reflect the era. Number One offers over 1,200 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation and sits within a generous plot, benefiting from ample parking and a private, south-facing rear garden.

The front door is tucked behind a magical arched gate, leading into a dual-aspect living area with wood-effect laminate flooring and a stunning oak beam that draws the eye to the exceptionally high ceilings. The decorative mantelpiece serves as a striking focal point, whilst the detailed panelling around the windows adds a touch of elegance.

The kitchen/breakfast room features a dramatic ceiling adorned with original cornicing and an intricate ceiling rose. A range of fitted units integrates several main appliances, including an induction hob, oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and a classic Butler sink. This space is further complemented by a well-appointed laundry room, which also provides access to the garden. With its southerly aspect, it could just as easily serve as a peaceful sunroom.

The ground floor bathroom is a tranquil retreat, fitted with a roll-top bath, WC, and basin. Upstairs, the main bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while the two additional double bedrooms enjoy plenty of natural light and a calm, ambient atmosphere.

OUTSIDE:

Occupying a generous plot with off road parking and a private garden which is fully enclosed by mature hedging, there are several seating areas dotted around the garden alongside a summer house, a large stretch of lawn adds to the greenery from the mature trees which surround the property.
