PARSONAGE HOUSE | Herne Bay

• Extensively refurbished detached period house
• Sympathetically restored to retain Edwardian features
• New (in 2014) gas central heating system
• 2014 replacement double-glazed windows
• Re-wired electrical circuits in 2014
• Desirable position in unadopted close

Parsonage House is a detached Edwardian house that has been lovingly
restored during the past 18 months. This attractive double-fronted
family home has been sensitively refurbished from top to bottom to
provide a virtually brand new interior, suitable for modern living. At
the same time it has retained a variety of period features such as high
ceilings, coving and ceiling roses, picture rails and cast iron fireplaces –
giving it plenty of character and charm.

This is an ideal home for a growing family as it includes five good-sized
bedrooms. It is on an unadopted cul-de-sac so is very safe for children
and pets and is within walking distance of the town centre, bus route,
the main-line station and the seafront.

There are three well-proportioned reception rooms providing flexible
accommodation. Whether you want an elegant drawing room and
formal dining room – looking through lovely bay windows to the front
garden and a family room with French doors to the rear patio or an
office, breakfast room and lounge, you can arrange these rooms to suit
your needs. The equally well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room
includes an eye-level oven, gas hob and other integrated appliances to
make cooking easy and an adjacent utility room keeps the laundry out
of sight.

The first floor includes three double bedrooms, the family bathroom
and a dressing room that could be converted to an en-suite bathroom,
while the top floor consists of two large rooms that would make an
ideal suite for older children looking for a bit of independence. Outside,
the secluded garden has been created so it is easy to maintain. The
terrace allows you to enjoy al fresco dining and summer barbecues,
while the flat lawn is ideal for kids to run around.

Directions

From London, take the A2 and continue onto the M2. Continue on the

before leaving the dual carriageway where it is signposted Herne Bay and
Canterbury and take the second exit from the roundabout, following the
signs for Canterbury A291. At the next roundabout, take the first exit, then
take the third turning on the right-hand side, just after the railway bridge into
Parsonage Road where you will find the property.
