Bullockstone Road, Herne Bay, CT6

'Northwood Lodge' is an utterly beautiful period home, oozing with opulence and occupying a secluded plot of 0.26 of an acre with stunning gardens encompassing the property.
The current owner has meticulously restored the property with an interior design to die for which has been featured in many magazines such as 'Country Living'.
Covering an impressive 2411 sq ft (224 sq m), there is certainly no compromise for space here with all rooms of palatial proportion. There are two large principal reception rooms and a stunning kitchen/diner styled with a 'Classique French' influence. This impressive area proves to be the fulcrum of this unique home.
A pleasant garden room, very handy utility room and a downstairs shower room complete the generous ground floor.
The first floor presents three huge double bedrooms, each with a wonderful outlook of the garden grounds. The 'Master Suite' occupies its own split level and forms part of the roof space. With its vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and very own lounge area with log burner, this spectacular bedroom is akin to a boutique hotel suite.
A beautiful family bathroom with a freestanding, roll top bath and double shower cubicle concludes this rather special property.
The gardens are an absolute paradise for those greenfingered, well stocked with an abundance of pretty flowers and shrubbery. Each of the gardens offer an excellent degree of privacy coupled with various areas to relax and enjoy the sunshine in peace.
Extensive off-road parking is provided via the long gravel driveway and the thoughtfully sectioned parking area.
All in all, a truly remarkable property which has been carefully and sympathetically restored, now providing a home like no other. Call the exclusive sole agents, Kent Estate Agencies, to arrange your viewing appointment.

History:
Northwood Lodge forms part of the former Northwood Manor Estate. The Manor itself was designed and built in the mid 1800's by one George Burge for his family, the same man to design and build Herne Bay's first pier in 1832. Northwood Manor was further extended in the late 1800's. After its time as the Burge family home, the property was turned into a boys school until WWII when it was renovated and transformed into a successful hotel. It was during the1960's that Northwood Manor was purchased and redeveloped into what it is today.
