About this property
This property is found in a wonderful seafront location, directly on the beach in the village of Seasalter in East Kent. At high tide, the waves lap gently just a few metres from the property’s spacious decked seating area, and there are miles of beach walks to be enjoyed from the property’s front door, including the 35-minute walk to the popular, fashionable town of Whitstable, just 2 miles away. The village itself is home to one of the area’s most highly-regarded gastropubs, as well as a handy village shop. For a wider range of shops, as well as the historic cathedral, large theatre, and cinema, why not spend the day in Canterbury, which is just 6 miles from the property.
Guests will instantly fall in love with this stunning loft-style beach house, which has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout. The first thing that guests will notice is the sense of space and light which has been carefully created here, thanks to the open-plan arrangement, double-height ceiling, skylights, and glass wall which opens onto the spacious seafront veranda. The owners have paid careful attention to detail to create a stylish space, with comfortable furnishings and on-trend decoration. There is a large corner sofa for guests to relax on and enjoy the view to the beach, or instead perhaps fire up the wood burner and curl up in front of a film on the Smart TV. The dining area occupies one corner of the open-plan space, from where a door leads through to the conservatory kitchen which offers a Range-style oven, hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, washing machine, and dishwasher. The double bed is located in the opposite corner of the room to the dining area, whilst a sofa bed can be found upstairs on the loft-style mezzanine floor. This is a click-clack double sofa bed that will be made up as a bed if booked for 3 people, or for 2 people who prefer separate beds (bedding available). The bathroom has a fashionable, sleek feel to it and offers a bath, separate shower, and WC.
The spacious decked terrace to the front of the property is situated right on the beach, and is a spectacular place from which to enjoy the fresh air and the relaxing sound of waves from the table and chairs provided. There is also a pretty marine-style garden to the side of the property, and off-road driveway parking for two cars.
Please note that there is over a meter drop at the end of the decking area overlooking the beach. This may make this property unsuitable for children.

A little piece of heavan ! A beautiful unique property for anyone needing to relax and de stress. Very quiet location but lots to look at with the changing tides. Sunsts are amazing. Comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. Couldn't have wanted for more !

Fantastic sea views from the garden, sunsets were spectacular. Love the quirky, colourful decor, equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable holiday. Didn’t use my car, lovely walk into Whitstable along the sea shore, frequent bus service into Canterbury, or you could just sit in the garden and enjoy the view

The view is amazing, we could never tire of watching the changing tides. Both sunsets (some of the best we’ve seen) and sunrises are visible from the decking. The property is very colourful, although not so much as on the photos, presumably due to new ownership. It is also extremely well equipped and very spacious.
