Sea Street, Whitstable, CT5

The current owners have significantly enhanced and uplifted the interior by creating an inspiring, inviting and chic apartment with a loft style edge and stylish bespoke touches introducing a vintage industrial flair and unique feel throughout.

Located in the heart of Whitstable, a fashionable and flourishing coastal town, The Sail Lofts is an attractive, Grade II Listed building, comprising just five apartments.

Approached via walled gardens from both Sea Street and Sea Wall, convenience and comfort are on the doorstep with the delightful seafront and vibrant town centre with its array of independent retailers, including a superb selection of celebrated restaurants, trendy boutiques, delicatessens and cafes, within a short stroll.

A tranquil setting for rest and relaxation, the communal gardens have been thoughtfully created using a range of materials and diverse planting to add structure, texture and character to the landscape, with a raised pond providing a valuable habitat for wildlife.
