3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Dating back to the 1860s, this charming and wonderfully quirky three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character property with generous gardens and a truly impressive detached outbuilding, offering exceptional versatility for modern living.

The main house retains much of its period charm, with features including exposed brick fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and cottage-style detailing throughout. The accommodation is both welcoming and practical, with a cosy lounge centred around a wood-burning stove creating a warm focal point. To the rear, the home opens into an extended kitchen and dining area with skylights and large doors overlooking the garden, creating a bright and sociable space ideal for everyday living and entertaining. This area is further enhanced by a second wood-burning stove, adding both character and warmth to the heart of the home.

The property offers three bedrooms in total, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite, while the main bathroom is conveniently located on the ground floor within the original house.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden is a fantastic size, mature and well established, providing a peaceful setting with multiple areas to enjoy throughout the seasons. Toward the rear of the garden you will find a useful workshop or home office, perfect for those working from home or requiring hobby space.

However, the real standout feature is the substantial detached building positioned at the end of the garden. Constructed to a high specification and with a build cost of approximately £90,000, this impressive space offers an incredible range of possibilities. With its large open-plan layout, vaulted ceiling and roof lights, it could easily serve as a studio, gym, games room, creative workspace, home business premises, entertainment room, yoga studio or additional living space for guests or family, subject to any necessary permissions.

To the front of the property there is a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking, completing what is a highly individual and versatile home.

Properties with this level of character, garden space and such a significant additional building rarely come to market, making this a unique opportunity for buyers looking for something truly different.

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).
