Set just back from the pebble beach on Whitstable's Island Wall, this three-bedroom former fisherman's cottage offers a coastal haven just a short stroll from the town's vibrant centre. On the ground floor, there's a cosy sitting room, plus a large open-plan kitchen and dining room that opens out onto a pretty cottage garden via retractable bifold doors, creating a large sociable space that spans inside and out. Head upstairs and you'll catch tantalising glimpses of the sea from the bedrooms on the first and second floors. Wander less than five minutes from your front door, and you'll find yourself on Whitstable's High Street, lined with cool coffee shops, independent boutiques and sumptuous restaurants, some of which have been serving seafood for over 150 years. Enjoy safe bathing and sunset promenades along Tankerton's Blue Flag beach, a little over a mile away, while the historic city of Canterbury is just 7 miles away. Further east along the coast, the likes of Margate and Ramsgate offer burgeoning culinary and creative scenes set against a backdrop of endless sandy beaches and Victorian-era tidal pools, approximately half an hour away.

Home truths

    Check yourself in on arrival with the smartlock

    Whitstable benefits from good rail links to London and other Kent towns, so a car isn't a necessity – however, there's one-hour restricted parking outside the home for unloading and free parking on neighbouring streets if required

    The home is set across three floors, which are linked by steep stairs, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility

    Access to the home is via a private entrance

    Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available on request

About Whitstable

This seaside town suddenly came into fashion about twenty years ago and hasn’t looked back. Once a quiet fishing community, it’s now one of the most popular second home spots in Kent, and its many admirers have encouraged new businesses, bars and eateries to pop up all over town. Away from the high street, the real attraction is the long pebbly beach – known for its views across the estuary...
