An exceptional contemporary home in a coveted beachfront location, from where it commands panoramic and far-reaching views of the sea.
Beach House was built to a bespoke design by Skandia-Hus in 2004 and is enviably positioned at the foot of the coastal slope on Hampton's prized Spa Esplanade, in a tranquil yet convenient location with direct beach access.
The house has been thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the magnificent sea views, with the principal living rooms situated at first-floor level. The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall, study, utility room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which incorporates a sauna.
A central spiral staircase rises to the first floor which comprises an impressive open-plan living and dining room with vaulted ceiling and access to a sea-facing balcony via french doors, a kitchen, and the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Externally there is a boat house opening onto the promenade which also has a large sea facing decked area above. The beautifully maintained South facing garden extends to 180 ft (55 m) and incorporates a sheltered terrace with hot tub, and further seating areas throughout the lawned garden, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the coastal views. At the rear of the property is a gated driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles, accessed via Western Esplanade. Spa Esplanade is accessible by vehicle from Hampton Pier Car Park.
Location
Spa Esplanade is a beachfront promenade and cycle path close to Hampton Pier and its sailing and rowing clubs, quietly located about a mile west of Herne Bay town centre. A new National Cycle route passes along Western Esplanade close by - The Oyster Bay Trail linking Whitstable to Reculver. Herne Bay town centre offers a range of shops, cafes and restaurants, sports and leisure facilities, schools and the Memorial Park, all within walking or cycling distance. The railway station serves two mainline routes to London, with frequent services to London St Pancras (about 78 mins) and London Victoria (about 93 mins). By road, Herne Bay is served by the coastal dual carriageway A299, with excellent links to channel ports, the A2, M2 and the rest of the motorway network.
