About this property

Originally opened as the Grand Hotel in 1899, this landmark building has a fascinating history and an enduring sense of timeless elegance, later being converted into luxury apartments and renamed St Mary's Court.

Situated within easy reach of public transport links, Herne Bay town centre and the seafront, this exceptionally stylish and spacious apartment offers an appealing combination of space, convenience and accessibility.

A welcoming entrance hall creates a lovely first impression from the moment you step inside.

The lounge/diner benefits from a large bay window to the front, creating a comfortable and inviting space for both relaxation and entertaining and an attractive, well-fitted kitchen could easily accommodate a bar table, ideal for informal dining. Two generous double bedrooms and two washroom facilities add further convenience, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower alongside a smart, contemporary bathroom.

Further benefits include a share of the freehold, residents' and guest parking, communal gardens and a lift providing access to all floors.

All in all, this is a superbly presented and generously proportioned apartment, combining period character with modern comfort in a highly convenient location.
