Located in a side street off the delightful Harbour Street, this quirky cottage (which was formerly the town’s sweet shop) is in the perfect position to enjoy all that Whitstable has to offer. It is just yards from the independent boutique shops, the pubs, cafes and restaurants, and also yards from the beach and harbour. The decor is an eclectic mix of nautical, film and music and offers a cosy sitting room with log-burner, an open-plan dining room with door to the enclosed patio garden, kitchen and downstairs bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with a third twin bedroom being on the second floor. So, whether you want to be out and about on the water or on the beach, listening to live music, exploring the local arts and crafts or simply chilling at the cottage, this property is the ideal base.
