About this property
Boatswains Cottage is a charming two-bedroom cottage, close enough to the sea to hear the gulls.
Boatswains Cottage is a charming 19th-century weatherboard fisherman's cottage, located just a few steps from the beach on Whitstable's highly sought-after Island Wall. Boasting a full range of modern conveniences and situated just moments from the beach and tennis courts, this stylish property offers the perfect seaside getaway in Whitstable.
Once used by the coastguard, this wood-framed cottage provides accommodation for 4 people over 3 floors and still retains its original features. Spread over three floors, the style of the house is beautifully simple. There are fantastic views of the sunny garden from the balcony and a wood burning stove provides cosy evenings during the colder months. Featuring all the mod cons you would expect and with the beach and tennis courts just yards away, this is a stylish getaway by the sea.
Beautiful well-equipped cottage with open-plan sitting/dining area, family bathroom with WC, wash basin, bath and handheld shower. First floor balcony and sunny courtyard garden with decked seating area.
Open plan sitting/dining room with wood burning stove, flat-screen TV and DVD player, leading to kitchen/dining area equipped with microwave, fridge, washer/dryer, dishwasher and gas hob with electric oven. Doors leading to a well established sunny courtyard garden with decked seating area.
Twin bedroom and spacious Kingsize bedroom, and a beautiful family bathroom with roll top bath and handheld shower head, leading to balcony area.
PLEASE NOTE: the cottage may be unsuitable for younger children in respect to the stairs and the balcony area and children must be supervised at all times.
NOTE: The stairs in the cottage are quite steep
With both the tennis courts and the beach conveniently located just behind the property, it's the perfect setting for a refreshing getaway in Whitstable. The renowned Neptune pub is also situated along this stretch of beach, perfect for a cold, refreshing drink on a sunny day or after a leisurely walk along Whitstable's promenade. Just opposite, on this peaceful road, you'll find a charming local store and café serving delicious breakfasts and lunches. Whitstable's charming town centre, offering a delightful selection of eateries and boutiques, is conveniently located just at the end of the road.
There is free street parking on Nelson Road just off Island Wall but directly outside the property there are double yellow lines. There are free 1 hour parking spaces on Island Wall which is ideal for unloading the car. The nearest paid parking is Keams Yard car park. You can view the charges on the Canterbury City Council website. Parking can be limited in the high season but once you have parked up, you are close enough to walk into town, beach, shops etc. You can also visit the 'Just Park' website to find out where to park in Whitstable.
There are frequent buses running from Whitstable to Herne Bay and Canterbury. You will find bus stops along High Street, Oxford Street etc. The trains from Whitstable station will take you to Ramsgate or further afield to London.
