2 Bed Cottage in Whitstable

About this property

Offering direct access onto Seasalter Beach, breathtaking seaside and sunset views, and light-filled interiors, this beachside hideaway is the ultimate retreat for couples and small families with their dogs in tow. The charming village of Seasalter offers everything you’d expect to find in a coastal retreat, from a great sailing club and local pub to a sweeping beach perfect for rambles and dog walks. Make the most of this stunning location with a morning swim or moonlight walk across the shingle, which is accessed directly through the gate at the bottom of the property’s garden. Famous for its fresh seafood, head along the coast to the lively town of Whitstable (2 miles) to hop aboard a boat trip from the harbour or pick up some local produce from the range of independent shops. The historic market town of Faversham can be reached within 5.5 miles.

Climb the two external steps that lead to this single-storey coastal retreat, kick off your sandy shoes in the doorway, then venture through to uncover the social heart of the home – the beautiful open-plan living space. Combining a well-appointed kitchen with a scenic dining space and restful lounge, this impressive room is filled with natural light thanks to the skylights and huge bi-fold doors. To experience the best of this wow-factor space, leave the bi-fold doors open to fill the home with fresh sea air while you take in those extraordinary views across the garden and out to sea. On chillier days, retreat to the lounge to rest weary feet, where a feature wood burner casts a warming glow across the room and underfloor heating adds a cosy touch. The lounge offers a choice of soft seating perfect for watching the Smart TV or simply admiring the ocean views. When stomachs rumble, the chic kitchen features everything needed for cooking up holiday feasts, which can be enjoyed at the farmhouse-style table indoors or alfresco at the sea-view picnic bench in the garden. At the end of each day away, two coastal-inspired double bedrooms both offer a great night’s sleep. The master bedroom features its own en-suite wet room with a shower and WC, while the other bedroom makes use of a separate wet room.

Beyond the bi-fold doors awaits one of the property’s highlights – the beautiful garden overlooking the beach and sea. Step out onto the decked terrace, which features a choice of soft seating perfect for relaxing with your holiday read or an evening tipple. You’ll also find a charcoal BBQ on the decking, ideal for those sea-view grill-ups together. Beyond the terrace awaits your enclosed beach garden, where the shingle blends with the grass due to your location right on the edge of the shoreline – a private gate leads onto Seasalter Beach. Completing the property is private off-road parking for two cars.
