Busheyfields Road, Herne, Herne Bay, Kent, CT6

A substantial family home occupying an exceptional plot of approximately one acre, enjoying a private and highly sought-after woodland setting just 2.7 miles from Herne Bay, 4.4 miles from Whitstable and 5.7 miles from Canterbury.

Busheycroft offers generous and highly versatile accommodation extending to approximately 2,729 sq ft (235 sq m). Now requiring comprehensive refurbishment, it presents a rare opportunity to create a bespoke family home of considerable quality, with further potential to extend, subject to all necessary consents.

The existing layout comprises a welcoming reception hall, spacious open-plan sitting room/dining room centred around an open fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen, additional reception room and cloakroom. To the first floor are four double bedrooms, a large balcony accessed from two of the bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom also benefits from an en-suite bathroom.

The mature woodland gardens are a defining feature of the property, providing a beautifully secluded setting and a remarkable sense of privacy, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Nearby footpaths provide easy access to East Blean Woods and the surrounding countryside. The property also benefits from a double garage and is offered for sale with no onward chain.

The plot benefits from an impressive frontage to Busheyfields Road of approximately 244 ft (74m) and a maximum depth of approximately 220 ft (67m). Given the size and configuration of the site, there may be potential for one or more additional dwellings, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and approvals.
