What the Owner says:

We bought the property about 10 years ago and have enjoyed enhancing this wonderful seaside home over that time. We love the location, the superb sea views and the opportunity to wander along Tankerton Slopes, down to the beach or into Tankerton with its eateries and local shops while Whitstable with its independent shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and famous harbour is only half a mile away. It also includes excellent medical facilities and a mainline station. There is the Chestfield Golf Club or the Whitstable and Seasalter Golf Club, the Whitstable Yacht Club or the Tankerton Sailing Club and other local facilities include 10 pin bowling, tennis and water sports. Canterbury is not far with its historic buildings, high street stores, independent shops restaurants, bars, two theatres and cinemas and two stations. There are also excellent grammar and private schools, three universities and a further education college and plenty of sporting facilities.
