Located in Herne Bay, Kent, The Artist's House by The Sea is a charming retreat that accommodates up to five guests across two bedrooms. This unique property, designed by the artist herself, has garnered attention from reputable publications such as Coast Magazine, The Guardian online, and The Observer Magazine. Nestled between the Victorian seaside town of Herne Bay and the ancient Roman fort of Reculver, the house boasts stunning views of the North Sea and is conveniently situated just 300 meters from the coast. The surrounding area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring a scenic path favored by walkers, cyclists, and wild swimmers, as well as opportunities to search for ammonites and shark’s teeth fossils.
The interior of the house is a blend of creativity and comfort, showcasing original artwork and mid-century modern furnishings that foster a serene atmosphere. The open-plan living area features a double-height ceiling and a well-appointed kitchen, making it an ideal space for entertaining. Bi-fold doors lead to a sunny deck, while the tranquil garden is adorned with greenery and seaside treasures. The ground floor includes a bathroom that opens onto a private garden area, a snug room perfect for reading or gazing at the sea, and a double bedroom with ample storage, catering especially to guests with limited mobility. However, certain features like the walk-in shower and raised thresholds may pose challenges for those with severe mobility issues.
From its elevated position atop a grassy slope, the house offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the sea. Access to the pebble beach is facilitated by a wide concrete path, which, while manageable for many, may be difficult for wheelchair users. Nevertheless, the path is frequently navigated by individuals using motorized scooters. The first-floor bedroom is a highlight, featuring its own balcony and a stylish wet room, providing a luxurious space to unwind and prepare for the day. Evenings can be spent enjoying spectacular sunsets from the front deck or cozying up by the wood-burning stove, with the house designed as a no-shoes environment that features underfloor heating for ultimate comfort.
Situated on the outskirts of Herne Bay, The Artist's House by The Sea is perfectly positioned for exploring the local beach, enjoying seaside walks, and hunting for fossils. The area is rich in activities for walkers, cyclists, and swimmers, and includes attractions such as the nearby Roman fort, local pubs, cafés, and restaurants. Guests can indulge in local favorites like The Bouncing Barrel and The Cosy Cat Café, or venture further to Margate for its beautiful beach and amusement park, or Canterbury for its historic cathedral and charming shops. The picturesque scenery of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provides additional opportunities for walking and bird watching, making this retreat a luxurious escape to the Kent coast.
