Offered to the market with no forward chain, this substantial and well presented detached chalet house provides spacious adaptable living. Sympathetically extended and refurbished to a high standard, this characterful property is ready to move straight into making it a perfect main residence or an ideal coastal holiday let.

The light and airy ground floor begins with an enclosed porch that opens into a large entrance hall. The versatile layout boasts two reception rooms - a dedicated dining room that flows seamlessly into a generously sized kitchen and a separate lounge brimming with character featuring a cosy log-burning stove and two elegant bay windows.

The ground floor also hosts two of the four double bedrooms (one benefiting from a modern en-suite shower room), a stylish family bathroom, a handy cloakroom and a separate utility room. The remaining two double bedrooms are found on the first floor.

Standing on a landscaped elevated plot, the property boasts an impressive 80ft front garden alongside convenient off-road parking. To the side, a decked seating area provides a lovely spot for alfresco dining and relaxing which leads through to an enclosed and private rear garden.

Perfectly positioned in a highly convenient and desirable location, the home is within just half a mile of Tankerton's vibrant parade of shops, cafes and restaurants as well as the picturesque Tankerton Slopes and seafront. Families and commuters will appreciate the proximity to the highly regarded St Mary's Primary School and Whitstable mainline railway station, both just 525 yards away. Excellent bus links are also easily accessible a short stroll away (350 yards) on Tankerton Road offering quick routes to the quaint harbour town of Whitstable (approx. 0.8 miles) and the historic Cathedral City of Canterbury (approx. 6.7 miles).
