If you're dreaming of a coastal getaway, this stylish house in Whitstable is a good starting point for two couples or small families. Within walking distance of Tankerton Beach, Whitstable Castle and the town centre, it gets a big thumbs-up on location. You'll also find the Harbour Market nearby, where you can really embrace the laidback seaside atmosphere. And though the postcode first caught our attention, we also appreciate that the home is well-kept, bold and modern. The rooms may not be the biggest, but they are comfortable, and the living space's layout means maximum socialising.
