Set in the thriving seaside town of Whitstable, this stylish cottage makes a light, attractive and inviting retreat for a family or a group of friends seeking a cosy getaway. Within 0.5 miles of the beach, harbour and castle, this traditional terraced cottage has been imaginatively updated and furnished and makes a wonderful base for exploring this tranquil part of the Kent coast. The cottage is also ideally situated for exploring the town centre, with its fantastic range of shops, boutiques and art galleries, as well as its wonderful restaurants, cafes and pubs, many specialising in fresh seafood brought in via the harbour.
Entering the property, you will find the light-filled open-plan lounge/diner which is an elegant space ideal for relaxation at the end of a wonderful day and features plenty of seating, a Smart TV, Blu-ray, iPod dock and an open fire.
