For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Preston Parade, Whitstable, Kent, CT5 4AA£2,250,000

We bought the original bungalow in 2009 as we absolutely adored the position. We then spent the next 18 months living in a caravan in the garden while the building works were completed. Living on site was extremely useful as we were able to oversee the build at all times to ensure it was of the highest standard and have been absolutely delighted with the results. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely miss it but we have decided to embark on a new adventure. in our retirement. We particularly like the location as we can walk into Whitstable town centre along the seafront or take a stroll along to the Michelin starred Sportsman restaurant. Whitstable is a charming town with its seafront, historic harbour, a wonderful mix of individual shops, bars, cafes and restaurants as well as a mainline station where the high speed train can take you to St Pancras in an hour and 15 minutes. For golfing enthusiasts there is the Whitstable and Seasalter golf club that also includes 10 pin bowling, an indoor and outdoor bowls club, tennis and water sports and if you want more choice there is also the Chestfield Golf club, while sailors can join the Whitstable Yacht Club or the Tankerton Sailing Club. There are also primary schools and secondary education in Whitstable and Herne Bay. Canterbury is not far away and is a wonderful city with a wide variety of historic buildings, high street stores and individual shops as well as numerous restaurants, bars and two cinemas, plus the Marlowe and Gulbenkian theatres and two stations including Canterbury West servicing the high speed train to St Pancras. There are also excellent grammar and private schools, three universities and a further education college and plenty of opportunities for sporting enthusiasts with the Kent cricket ground as well as a golf club, sports club and swimming pool.
