Additionally, there is a drawing room/snug, dining room, kitchen with corridor to a boiler room, pantry, WC and utility room with access to the front and rear gardens.

To the first floor are five generous bedrooms, three of which enjoy views over the garden and stunning sea views. Some bedrooms have built-in cupboards/sink, there is a bathroom and family bath/shower room, a separate toilet along with a bright spacious landing area.

Towards the bottom of the main garden, steps lead down to a gravelled area and wild flower area with grounds extending beyond that. A back gate leads onto the Saxon Shore path which takes you into Whitstable and a short distance onto the beach by the golf course. Between the Saxon Shore path and the golf course lies an additional parcel of land. Although this is currently overgrown, it has been a cultivated garden area.
