3 bed bungalow for sale

Oxenden Square, Herne Bay, Kent CT6

A Characterful Link-Detached Bungalow in a Truly Special Setting.

Tucked away within the historic and highly-regarded Oxenden Square, this distinctive link-detached period bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own a home in one of Herne Bay's most charming and remarkable locations. Set directly alongside the picturesque private green, the property enjoys a wonderful outlook and is just moments from the seafront and town centre.

Originally established as part of this historic private square, Oxenden Square provides a peaceful and beautifully maintained setting, with a collection of individual period homes surrounding the central green. Few locations in Herne Bay offer such a combination of character and convenience.
Inside, the property retains a wealth of period charm while incorporating a tasteful and contemporary interior. The large, brand-new picture-windows and front door accent the front the of the property, flooding the lounge with natural sunlight which trickles through the trees from the square.
The property is generously proportioned, with two very large double bedrooms and one single bedroom, then with two adjoining reception areas which provide excellent flexibility for both family life and entertaining.

A particularly impressive feature is the beautifully designed 15ft-long bathroom, presented in a boutique style with a freestanding bath, enclosed wet-room area, featuring gorgeous tiling and stylish brushed-gold fittings.
The spacious kitchen/breakfast room provides a practical and sociable heart to the home. Right next to this room, there is a separate WC adds further convenience. Throughout, the property successfully combines its original character with a clean, classic finish. The kitchen leads out to a brand-new private patio courtyard which is an afternoon sun-trap; the perfect place to pause and relax.

Further to this, the property profits from gardens to both the front and rear. The generous south-facing rear garden is predominantly lawn yet features a raised patio, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine. This is a lovely area from which to regard the property and look upon the wisteria, the grape vines and the cherry tree.

The property's link-detached arrangement adds another fascinating element to its history, with the adjoining bungalow understood to have originally served as servants' accommodation for St Margarets.

Full planning permission has been granted, with architect-designed plans, for a substantial side extension measuring approximately 31.5 square metres (7m × 4.5m) and reaching a height of around 6m at its highest point. The extension would create a remarkable open-plan living environment suitable for a large kitchen, dining and family area, with sufficient ceiling height to accommodate a mezzanine level. Together with the spacious loft conversion, which provides a principal bedroom, study, shower room and balcony, the reconfigured layout would offer four large bedrooms, a separate snug, and outstanding family living accommodation bringing the projected square footage to around 1900 sq./ft.
