Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In the heart of the picturesque seaside town of Whitstable, this home is just steps away from the High St – lined with independent boutiques, art galleries and seafood restaurants – with the bustling Harbour Market and the beachfront just a few minutes further on foot. The ground floor has been opened up, making this home better suited to modern living. However, period features, including a cast iron fireplace in the main bedroom and sash windows, remain. Out back, a spacious patio and dining area is equipped with solar lights that flick on in the evening, creating a lovely space for alfresco dining over the summer months.

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.
