Distinguished Victorian Residence with Panoramic Sea Views — Tankerton, Whitstable

Situated in the sought-after coastal enclave of Tankerton, this remarkable Victorian home commands sweeping sea views across Whitstable’s distinctive and picturesque rooftops. Rich in character and adorned with period detailing, the property offers expansive accommodation over three floors, complemented by a detached garage, private driveway, and additional off-street parking.

The impressive entrance, framed by a striking stained-glass front door, opens to a spacious central hallway with high ceilings, creating an immediate sense of grandeur. From here, the ground floor unfolds to a welcoming sitting room, a formal dining area, a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, a practical utility space, and a shower room with WC.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the top floor offers two further double bedrooms, ideal for guests, a home office, or flexible family living.

While already a substantial and impressive home, there remains ample potential for extension and bespoke enhancements (subject to necessary consents), allowing new owners to further tailor the property to their lifestyle.

Perfectly positioned, the home is just a short stroll from both Tankerton and Whitstable High Streets, with their array of independent shops, cafés, acclaimed restaurants, and excellent transport links, including direct rail services to London.

Location

The popular seaside town of Whitstable is situated on the stunning North Kent coast, 7 miles north of the historical city of Canterbury and less than 60 miles from central London. With its quaint alley ways, colourful high street and peaceful shingle beaches this town has a lot to offer both residents and holiday makers. For entertainment there are excellent water sport facilities, plenty of art galleries, and a wealth of independently run restaurants, boutiques and cafes to enjoy along the vibrant high street. The Crab and Winkle Way, one of the earliest passenger railways and the first ever steam-powered railway in the world, follows the disused railway line between Canterbury and Whitstable, and is now a popular walking and cycle route through woods and countryside. Road links via the A299 Thanet Way give easy access to the M2 for travel to London and beyond. Whitstable also has a main line train station providing fast and frequent links into London Victoria (1hr 30 mins) and London St Pancras (1hr 11mins).
