Island Wall, Whitstable, CT5

Within two hundred feet of Whitstable Beach, this three storey town house forms part of a highly sought after terrace of classic mid-century modern design by local architect W.Michael Bishop in 1959, and built in 1960. The house enjoys an enviable position on Whitstable's prized Island Wall, a pleasant stroll from the bustling High Street with its diverse range of shops, bars and restaurants, and Whitstable mainline railway station is less than 1 mile distant.

The house has been sympathetically improved in keeping with the original design, and retains many original features including exterior tiling beside the entrance door, polka dot glass to the entrance door and hall, parquet flooring, terrazzo window sills, and built-in wardrobes. The layout has been remodelled to create a spectacular kitchen/dining room to the lower ground floor, with utility room, cloakroom, and bi-folding doors opening to the garden. Of particular note, the living room features iconic Dieter Rams shelving, serving as a striking design element.

The bright, spacious and beautifully presented accommodation is arranged on the upper ground floor to provide an entrance hall, a large dual aspect living room opening to a balcony overlooking the rear garden and the golf course, and a study area. The first floor benefits from views towards the sea to the front and of the golf course to the rear, and comprises two double bedrooms, a third bedroom/study, and a stylish shower room.

The delightful South Easterly facing rear garden extends to 56ft (17m) and incorporates a natural stone terrace and a garden studio which is an ideal space for working from home. A driveway to the front of the house provides off street parking for two vehicles. No onward chain.
