Full Details for 2 Bedroom Detached for sale in Whitstable, CT5 :

This fantastic seafront property in the Shipwright’s Lee complex along the seaward side of Island Wall is truly unique. From virtually everywhere you look you can enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views across Whitstable Bay to Sheppey and the Essex coastline. Although, externally, it retains the character of its original design, internally the property has been completely redesigned and revamped within the last five years. Even the staircase has been moved to create more space and the elegant oak replacement stairs encase a steel frame so there are no uprights to detract from the design. This is a seaside retreat par excellence for a couple, their guests, children and their friends. It is only a few minutes’ walk to Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company or the Old Neptune pub as well as the bustling town centre. There is a guest bedroom and en suite cloakroom on the ground floor overlooking the sea and a separate shower room where anyone coming off the beach can clean up without going through the rest of the house.

The open-plan living space on the first floor takes advantage of the wonderful views and provides everything you need for a relaxing weekend and entertaining friends and family – whether that is cooking a mouth-watering meal in the attractive kitchen area with its raft of built-in appliances, sitting on the balcony enjoying an early evening drink or having dinner around the table. Upstairs, the master suite, with its trendy bath and separate shower, is a delight. Here you can recline in bed and watch the sea or enjoy breakfast sitting in front of the open French doors with Juliette balcony. The attractive courtyard provides visitors’ parking and two parking spaces owned by the property – a real bonus in the centre of Whitstable

What the Owner says:


We bought this property about nine years ago. It was an incredibly well-built house but the interior design lacked imagination. We felt that it was in one of the best locations in Whitstable. We love the town with its delightful restaurants, individual shops and fishing harbour and we can easily walk into the High Street along the seafront or along Island Wall. We spent the next year completely recreating it to become a special weekend retreat. Nothing was left to chance having installed new plumbing, new heating , new electrics and we gave a great deal of thought to every detail – from the restful colour scheme to the bespoke central stairwell light and the solid oak floor in the living area. We even have included comfort cooling.
However, once it was completed, our focus of attention altered and we have probably not spent more than a few weeks staying here, so it is virtually a brand new house that any owners could walk straight in to and not have to do anything except enjoy themselves. At the same time, as the property is in a separate enclave and there are very friendly neighbours who all look out for each other, it is safe enough to close up and not have to worry about security.
