Herne Bay seafront apartment with pets welcome

Three bedroom beachfront period cottage with sea views in Herne Bay on the Kent Coast, just 300 metres from Hampton Pier ideal for families or friends sleeping up to six guests. Private parking for 1 car, one dog allowed and two bathrooms. It’s a pleasant mile-long walk along the coast path to the centre of town for shops, cinema, restaurants, theatre and various sporting facilities. Continue on past the clock tower over the downs a further 3 miles east, to reach Reculver Towers and Roman Fort. Or explore in the opposite direction; Whitstable is 4 miles east, with several lovely beaches, a castle, a museum and a gallery. You may prefer to head inland; 8 miles south lies the historic City of Canterbury and there are two countryside nature reserves within 10 miles. And with the railway station less than a mile from your cottage, you have the option of sightseeing by train, as well as by road or on foot.

The property is entered via a flight of external steps from the seafront path. A bright lounge/dining room looking out onto the beach has a blend of antique and contemporary furnishings, tongue and groove wall panels and painted beams. An ornamental fireplace provides an attractive focal point, with a dining table and chairs positioned in the bay window. The contemporary country kitchen offers an additional table for two and double doors onto the sun-trap patio.

Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom facing the garden and a shower room with WC. Two twin bedrooms are found on the upper floor; one overlooks the garden and has a wash basin, the other has sea views and an en-suite bathroom with WC — both have timber beamed ceilings.

The property benefits from a fenced front patio and a walled/fenced rear patio, where you’ll find a wrought-iron bistro set and an outside shower for washing off the sand and salt. Steps from here lead to a terraced, sloping garden edged with flowerbeds, with a bench on one level providing wonderful sea and dramatic sunset views across the local roofs. Additionally, there’s a charming veranda with seating and a table for two.
