This well-presented three-bedroom detached house sits in a sought-after spot of Whitstable, a short stroll from the beach and about 0.5 miles from the station. The ground floor offers a generous living room, smart kitchen and cloakroom while three first-floor bedrooms include a principal with en-suite. A low-maintenance courtyard and a detached garage deliver rare central parking and outdoor entertaining space.
The house blends period character with modern touches: double glazing installed post-2002, a gas boiler with radiators, and contemporary bathrooms. Its footprint of about 883 sqft suits families who want easy access to town amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and regular rail links to London.
Buyers should note this is an older solid-brick property (pre-1900) where wall insulation is assumed absent — upgrading insulation could improve comfort and running costs. The home sits in a very deprived local area classification, which may affect long-term local investment and services despite the town’s popular coastal appeal.
Chain-free ownership and an affordable council-tax band make the house straightforward to purchase. For families seeking a central Whitstable base with parking, beach access and good transport, this home offers immediate liveability with clear scope for energy improvements and cosmetic updating where desired.
