An unforgettable arrival begins the moment you
turn into the private driveway.

This beautiful 5 bedroom home sits well back
from the street, opening to a generous forecourt with ample guest parking and
secure three-car internal garaging. From here, its stature is undeniable: one
of the earliest grand Victorian homes built in the 1910s on the northern slopes
of Herne Bay. Yet behind the heritage façade lies a complete reimagining by
Jones Architect. Every element, from weatherboards to roofline, has been renewed
with precise architectural care, honouring the home’s past while elevating it
for modern living.

The entry is nothing short of dramatic: black wall
paneling wraps the space, drawing the eye to a sweeping staircase with
black-and-white balustrades, a sculptural centrepiece that feels both opulent
and inviting. Dark timber floorboards lead into the light-filled living areas,
where the ground floor balances open-plan flow with distinct zones for dining,
lounging, and cooking. Multiple sets of doors connect seamlessly to the
outdoors, opening to the heated swimming pool and a fully self-contained pool
house, perfect for both relaxed family living while offering a setting for
entertaining of the highest calibre.

The kitchen is as functional as it is
showstopping, anchored by a four-metre Italian black granite island. A butler’s
pantry, premium appliances, and an adjoining dining space -
complete with bar and wine fridge, make it equally suited to intimate meals or
lively gatherings. The dining flows to a covered outdoor space with a large
herringbone-brick log fireplace, creating an all-season entertaining hub.

Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms share two
marble-clad family bathrooms, each with walk-in showers. Every bedroom is
bathed in natural light from sash windows or French doors that open to private
balconies. The master suite is a retreat in every sense, with its own balcony
for sunset harbour views, a luxurious ensuite, and a generous walk-in wardrobe.

The grounds are exceptionally private, wrapped in tall hedges and landscaped by Suzanne Turley for year-round beauty. This is one of the most distinguished family homes on the northern slopes of Herne Bay, a
rare blend of scale, craftsmanship, and comfort, just moments from the cafés
and restaurants of Jervois Road.

A distinguished home, crafted to contribute to
life.
