One of the standout features of 'Elmcourt' is its beautiful south-facing walled garden, providing a serene outdoor retreat. Additionally, the striking detached annex, once a cattle shed, has been meticulously refurbished to a high standard. This versatile space could serve as separate accommodation for multi generational living or be transformed into a lucrative Air b'n'b, offering the potential for a healthy annual income.
Nestled on Bullockstone Road in the charming coastal town of Herne Bay, 'Elmcourt' is a remarkable detached house that seamlessly blends historical elegance with modern luxury. Originally constructed in the mid-1800s by the esteemed architect George Burge, who also designed the iconic Herne Bay Pier, this residence stands as a testament to fine craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
With five spacious bedrooms and three well-appointed bathrooms, this home is perfect for family living. The three reception rooms offer ample space for relaxation and entertainment, making it an ideal setting for social gatherings. The property boasts a high-specification finish, showcasing contemporary spaces adorned with architectural flourishes that enhance its character.
Situated within the historic Northwood Manor Estate, 'Elmcourt' is the last of its kind, presenting a unique opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a distinctive family home. Herne Bay is renowned for its picturesque seafront, two miles of charming beaches, and a vibrant array of boutique shops and restaurants. The nearby town of Whitstable, famous for its working harbour and native oysters, adds to the appeal of this delightful location. Furthermore, the Cathedral City of Canterbury is just five miles away, and a high-speed rail link to London St Pancras makes commuting a breeze.
In summary, 'Elmcourt' is not just a home; it is a lifestyle choice, offering a perfect blend of history, luxury, and convenience in one of Kent's most sought-after coastal towns.
