Description

Wilbee & Son are delighted to present a unique opportunity to purchase the historic Bathing Station on East Cliff Parade in Herne Bay, a Grade II listed building that epitomizes local heritage, situated directly on the promenade with stunning 180-degree sea and coastal views. Originally built in 1900, the upper level stands approximately 20 feet above sea level and was expanded in 1920. After being utilised as a Coast Guard station since its acquisition by the local council in 2005, it now stands as a vacant and redundant building with disused toilet and shower facilities on the lower level. This iconic property, with its approximately 81 years remaining on the leasehold, offers no ground rent or additional service charges, with water and electricity already connected, and the added benefit of a fibre optic telephone line. The Bathing Station is offered for sale in its current state, without clearance of contents or rubbish, and viewings are available by appointment only. Access by vehicle is through a locked barrier that will be opened specifically for viewings. Any prospective buyer should be aware that any changes of use are subject to planning approval. The ground level features an open area with access to ladies and gents toilets, changing cubicles, and a store room. The first-floor level, accessed from the rear, has recently had power and lighting installed, with electric roller shutters to some windows at the front and side. The self-contained ladies and gents toilets, with changing areas and storage rooms, are generally in need of improvements. The electricity supply and water supply may be currently disconnected. This property, with its rich history and unparalleled views, presents a remarkable opportunity for a new owner to create a lasting legacy.
