" Situated in the heart of Herne Bay with the sea front on its doorstep, Grosvenor House is an elegant Georgian period home. Reported to be one of Herne Bay's oldest properties, this grade II listed house offers generous living accommodation with six double bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms. Sea views are enjoyed from many of the rooms. The property is brimming with charm and character, retaining many of its original features including cast iron fireplaces and feature archways.

Outside there is an established westerly facing rear garden with patio area, ideal for entertaining. In our opinion this is a substantial family home and, given its location, perhaps a B&B opportunity ...
