Victoria Street, Whitstable

Steeped in local history, this delightful end of terrace home originally formed part of The Sovereign public house established in 1835.

Converted to private use, it became two cottages in 2003 and is now a charming home offering the comfort and convenience of modern day living whilst retaining character from yesteryear; the beer and wine cellar is easily accessed and is now a useful storage area and the original etched public house window has been framed and will be left for the new owner.

Exceptionally generous three storey accommodation comprises a lovely dual aspect sitting room flooded with natural light, a dining room with plenty of space for entertaining family and friends, well fitted kitchen, inner lobby with room to accommodate a fridge/freezer, and a ground floor bathroom. The first floor comprises one double bedroom, one single bedroom and a shower room. A quirky wooden staircase leads to a dual aspect double bedroom with ample storage which occupies the entire top floor.

The pièce de résistance is a highly sought after parking space and pretty cottage style garden.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a home, seaside retreat or investment opportunity in a thriving and charming coastal town.
