ABOUT NORTH VIEW
North View is very quirky with its never ending hallways and unusually shaped rooms. It dates back to the 1880s when it was run by nuns and called St Saviours Grange, although it has seen much modernising since this time. It is the site of the second windmill in the area (Bay Windmill), which was knocked down at the time of the building of St Saviours Grange. Rumours suggest that the agreement was to have part of the windmill incorporated into the house. The second windmill to the area still stands and is located in the village of Herne.
The house benefits from wooden double glazed sash windows and a log burner, so can be enjoyed all year round. There is wifi accessible throughout the house.
There is parking on the sea front adjacent to the house and to the rear of the property. There is free parking outside the controlled zone a few minutes walk from the property. The rear garden gate leads to the parking area and also leads directly into the town centre.
HERNE BAY LOCATION
Herne Bay is an excellent location to holiday, which really comes alive in the Summer months with various events and activities hosted in the town. Herne Bay has a far reaching promenade consisting of 7 miles of beach. The part of the saxonshore coastline extends from Whitstable to Margate, which is great for cycling. Along the way you will pass beach huts, ice cream sellers, pubs and restaurants serving all types of cuisine. Rest and play on the many beaches and at the end of the day, take in unrivalled breath taking sunsets from the beach.
Herne Bay is nestled in between the Cathedral City of Canterbury (7 miles away) can be accessed by foot or bike along the famous old railway line "Crab and Winkle way and the ever popular Harbour town of Whitstable (5 miles away); which can be accessed by foot or bike along the "Saxonshore way". The 12th Century Roman Fort of Reculver Towers is only 3 miles away, clearly visible from Herne Bay seafront and is a popular walk or bike ride, with a welcoming pub at the end.
Herne Bay is easily located to other towns of interest such as the medieval towns of Faversham and Sandwich, the white sands of Margate (home of the Turner Contemporary Gallery), Broadstairs and Ramsgate. A fifteen minute walk to the train station can get you to Whitstable in 7 minutes, Faversham in 15 minutes (with high speed links to London) Margate in 15 minutes, Broadstairs in 25 minutes and Ramsgate in 30 minutes (with high speed links to London). As well as beautiful beach walks, there are also numerous woods to walk, including the Crab and Winkle Way, Thornden Woods and Clowes Woods.
