Prepare to be charmed at this traditional fisherman's cottage reimagined into a modern, seaside home, just a moment's walk from the bustling high street and beach of picturesque Whitstable. Perfect for a small family or two couples, this place packs some serious style. Downstairs, there's the obligatory cosy wood burner for wintery days, with a sumptuous velvet sofa and storybook armchairs to sink into. Leading out from the contemporary kitchen, you'll discover a sunny courtyard garden for warmer days. While upstairs, there are two surprisingly spacious, stylish bedrooms for banking a peaceful night's sleep. When it's time to get out and about, you couldn't ask for a better location. Bustling Harbour Street, with a myriad of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and pubs within its clapboard houses, is a five-minute stroll away - as is the iconic fishing harbour, home of the famous Whitstable oysters and fish markets. And just beyond, you'll find the seemingly endless stretch of pebble beach. Take the coastal path running to Tankerton, where you will find rows of pretty pastel beach huts – just as you'd imagined it would be.

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.
