Description Holding Hands: Herne Bay

Quite fittingly for a home around five minutes' walk from Herne Bay's coastline, this home is slightly reminiscent of a beach shack. Admittedly, it's a lot bigger than the much-coveted huts you'll see in the local area, but the weathered timber around the fireplace, the bright white walls and the large double doors that open up to let the sea air blow through the space help create the laidback feel. Outside, there's a small yard complete with a picnic table for when you fancy an alfresco supper, but there are several seafront restaurants on Central Parade a couple of minutes away on foot, as well as plenty more on the High Street in the other direction. A lovely walking route through The Downs starts five minutes' walk from the front door, too.

Home truths:
*The home is on the ground floor and has no steps inside
*There's no private car parking space, but there are paid car parks in Herne Bay starting from as close as three minutes' walk away, as well as some free on-street parking
*There's no desk, but there's a laptop-friendly workspace on the dining table
*The home has no wi-fi
