Architectural Calm

This historically significant Marine Villa offers approximately 561sqm of internal living and is one of the grandest three sided covered verandah residences in Herne Bay. Confidently reimagined rather than renovated, it balances classical form with contemporary freedom.

Elevated to maximise harbour breezes and views, unfolding intuitively. Light filled interiors transition seamlessly between formal and informal spaces, creating a residence home that is both adaptable and welcoming.

Thoughtful bespoke detailing is woven throughout, from finely crafted stonework to custom joinery and a carefully curated palette. Each of the 4 bathrooms are individually designed, unified by stone finishes and brass detailing, delivering both cohesion and character.

Wide French oak floorboards run throughout, grounding the interiors with warmth and texture. The sculptural staircase becomes a defining architectural moment, dramatically blending form and function as it connects all three levels, complemented by a discreet lift for effortless vertical living.

Accommodation is generous and well resolved, with four bedrooms arranged to balance family connection and privacy. The principal suite is a true retreat, expansive in scale, with a luxurious ensuite, his and hers walk in wardrobes, and a private balcony positioned perfectly for sunsets and harbour views. Each additional bedroom offers its own sense of individuality, with features such as French doors opening to balconies, while a guest suite is thoughtfully positioned away from the main family zone.

Entertaining and everyday living are equally well catered for. A dedicated media and games room, as well as a beautifully appointed wine cellar creates spaces that feel as indulgent as they are functional. A large, highly practical laundry with extensive storage will delight families, while separate four car garaging provides exceptional convenience and comfort, and the gated driveway offers secure off street space for children’s sport, guests or additional vehicles.

Designed with modern living in mind, the home integrates discreet climate control, advanced sound and lighting systems, and exceptional storage throughout, ensuring functionality never compromises aesthetics.

It is a home that works quietly in the background, allowing architecture, light and lifestyle to lead.
