A rare opportunity to acquire a sea-facing detached chalet bungalow with the benefit of planning permission for a substantial contemporary home. The property is ideally situated within the highly desirable Studd Hill private estate on the western side of Herne Bay, from where it commands panoramic and far-reaching views of the sea.
The existing accommodation comprises an entrance hall, open-plan living room, kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms, a shower room and a sea-facing roof terrace. The Westerly facing garden extends to 49ft (15m) and to the front of the house a driveway provides off road parking for a number of vehicles.
Planning permission has been granted for the erection of a contemporary two-storey detached dwelling together with a single-storey detached outbuilding for use as ancillary accommodation, following the demolition of the existing dwelling. The plot occupies a frontage to the coastal slope of 80ft (24.5m) and to Austin Avenue of 47ft (14.4m).
The proposed accommodation totals 2260 sq ft (210 sq m) and has been designed to take advantage of the extensive sea views, with a first floor open-plan living space with kitchen and a seperate study, both opening to a large sea facing balcony. In addition there are 3 bedrooms (each with en-suite shower rooms), a utility room and a cloakroom. Outside, a detached outbuilding would suit a variety of uses, and could be used to provide a gym or additional space to work from home.
