First time to the market in almost 40 years, this characterful Coast Guard Cottage built circa 1851 boasts charming features and beautiful sea views from every room of the property. Situated on the end terrace, the property benefits from a secluded position with a 112ft side garden giving plenty of scope for the future along with brick built outbuildings that were previously used as washrooms when the cottage was in full use by the Coast Guard and detached double garages. The current accommodation comprises entrance hall, dining room leading to the 'L' shaped living room with French doors to the front garden, kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom. Stairs lead to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms all with fitted wash hand basins and separate WC. There is a small set of stairs leading to the observatory where you can enjoy panoramic sea views from the comfort of the observatory or out on the balcony. Situated in a popular location with local shopping facilities and mainline railway station available just under a mile away. Bus services are approximately 525 yards away in St. Johns Road to central Tankerton (approx. 1.7 miles), Harbour Town of Whitstable (approx. 2.8miles), Herne Bay (approx. 3 miles) and the Cathedral City of Canterbury (approx.7.3 miles).
