" An immensely beautiful period home dating circa 1910 is found on 'The Downs', an area regarded as the very finest in Herne Bay with spectacular sea views and enviable coastal walks. Covering an incredible 2296 sq ft (213 sq m), there is a lot more than meets the eye beyond the attractive bay fronted fa?ade. The original stained wood and leadlight front entrance door leads to an impressive 13' reception hall with the stunning balustrade staircase being the focal point. The 23' living room looks seaward via a large bow bay window with seating and features an incredible mural by the artist George Oyston dated 1910.A separate dining room provides an area for formal entertaining with French doors opening out to the sunny rear garden.The hub of today's family home is the kitchen, and there is plenty of room here, measuring an ample 16' 10 x 14' 2.A utility room and downstairs WC completes the ground floor. The vast first floor landing almost doubles up as another reception room, and could be used comfortably as a study.The master bedroom is palatial in size, with the large bow bay window providing a 180 degree view along the coast. An en-suite also benefits the master bedroom. The second bedroom also looks seaward, again featuring another big bay window adding further depth and vantage point to enjoy those views. Two further double size bedrooms and a family bathroom concludes the first floor. A staircase then leads to a 22' loft room/fifth bedroom; a perfect getaway for teenagers or private guest accommodation. A big advantage for this property is the generous plot it occupies, with a long driveway extending beyond gates and down to a 30' x 10'9 garage. The established 51' rear garden is well stocked and faces south, basking in sunshine throughout the day.This phenomenal home is presented in impeccable order throughout, tastefully decorated and retaining many period features, coupled with the beautiful location, means this home must viewed immediately to avoid disappointment.
