The Roost is a 3 bedroom fisherman cottage close to town and the beach

The Roost is a cosy two bedroom cottage set over two floors, It has 2 bathrooms, 1 being en suite and the other a shower room downstairs, front room with smart TV and DVD player, dining room, fully equipped, sun room and enclosed garden.
It is centrally placed so i only 2 minutes from the town and beach.

You check in using a key box code. I am however local to the area, so if you need anything or have any questions, I am only a phone call away and a short drive!

The cottage is in a quiet residential street but it is 5 minutes walk to the town centre with local shops, a working historic harbour with its market, and the stony beach, dotted with colourful beach huts along Tankerton Slopes is all within easy reach on foot.

The beach and sailing club is a 10 minute walk past the Harbour selling delicious fresh seafood. The unique boutiques, cafes and restaurants are aplenty so you can enjoy an evening out eating locally sourced food.

You have access to all areas in the property.

The Roost offers comfortable accommodation in the conservation area of Whitstable.

Furnished to a very high standard, the property offers comfortable sofas and a smart TV as you walk in to the living, through the front door. This leads you to a dining room for 4, stepping down into the kitchen. The kitchen is quirky but with all the essentials you need to cook such as an oven, hob and even a dishwasher to take the stress out of washing up! At the end of the kitchen on the left is a utility cupboard with a washer, dryer, ironing board etc and through the door in front of you, you will find a convenient downstairs bathroom with a WC, basin and a large walk in shower to wash all the sand off after a day at the beach. Through the sunny day room, you will find the back door leading to the patio garden with table and chairs for alfresco dining and extra sofas for relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine.

The two spacious double bedrooms both have a built in wardrobes and decorative fireplaces; keeping the theme of an old fishermans cottage. The rear double bedroom has a large en suite bathroom with a hand shower over a bath, WC and basin. There is also an extra single mattress under the double bed and spare bedding for an extra child.

The Roost is next door to Shell Cottage which is convenient for 8 guests to stay in two properties.

Please note that the stairs are steep like so many old fishermans houses of this kind in Whitstable.

There is free street parking on the road and surrounding roads. The nearest paid parking is Victoria Street 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.
