A modern understanding of the classic Herne Bay villa has led to an elegant transformation. Retaining its villa characteristics and combining it with todays luxuries, the outcome is an understated merger of design periods. For this is a modern home that immediately feels like it wants to be lived in, yet the character of the 1920s era is at every turn. Such as the carefully restored mouldings, which are like pieces of ceiling art, to be enjoyed alongside the contemporary finishes.
Four bedrooms each with different ceilings; bathrooms with floating cabinets; large scale mirrors and a hall that reads as an art gallery; these are just a few of the delights before arriving at the heart of the home. Naturally, the chic kitchen is an entertainers haven. With Blum hardware, Bosch induction hob, Miele oven, steamer and warmer and a black honed granite bench, the quality is evident. A cleverly designed 'breakfast zone' will keep things moving in the mornings as will the double shower in the ensuite. Such attention to how a family operates is evident throughout and carries through to the outdoor areas. West-facing the large deck is perfect for entertaining while the lawn gives children their own play space.
Connecting to the lounge, a TV room can be closed by shutting the cavity sliders and features a built in display cabinet. A statement ECC 'Rust' lampshade in the dining area, a treat given to the house by the Interior Designer, sets the mood and tone from which these living spaces developed where none of the original high studs has been lost.
Two off-street car parks are an extra bonus to this period villa that acts like a modern home!
