About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Roost is a cosy, two-bedroom, two bathroom house and offers an easy stroll to the town.

The Roost is a cosy, two-bedroom cottage set over two floors. It features two bathrooms, one en-suite and the other a downstairs shower room, a living room with a smart TV and DVD player, a dining room, a new refurbished fully equipped kitchen and an enclosed garden.

You check in using a key box code. I am however local to the area, so if you need anything or have any questions, I am only a phone call away and a short drive!

Nestled on a quiet residential street, the house is conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the town centre, offering local shops, a working historic harbour with its market, and the stony beach, where colourful beach huts line Tankerton Slopes – all easily accessible on foot.

A ten-minute walk past the harbour, where you can find delicious fresh seafood, will take you to the beach and sailing club.

You have access to all areas in the property.

The Roost provides comfortable accommodation and is furnished to a high standard. The property provides a welcoming home-from-home atmosphere.
The living room, featuring a smart TV and comfortable sofas, leads into a dining room seating four, with a step down into the newly refurbished kitchen. The kitchen, while retaining its quirky charm, is fully equipped with all the essentials for cooking, including an oven, hob, and a dishwasher for added convenience! At the left end of the kitchen, you'll find a utility cupboard housing a washer/dryer, and through the door directly ahead is a convenient downstairs bathroom with a toilet, basin, and a large walk-in shower – perfect for washing off the sand after a day at Whitstable's beach. The patio garden is furnished with a table and chairs for al-fresco dining and additional sofas for relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine from the wine fridge!
Upstairs, the two spacious double bedrooms both feature built-in wardrobes and decorative fireplaces, maintaining the character of an old fisherman's cottage typical of Whitstable. The rear double bedroom boasts a large, newly refurbished en-suite bathroom with a bath, toilet, and basin. An additional single mattress and spare bedding are also provided for an extra child. There is also a travel cot and high chair to use so you can travel light!

The Roost is next door to Shell Cottage which is convenient for eight guests to stay in two properties.

Please note: As is typical of many old fisherman's houses in Whitstable, the stairs are steep, although a handrail is provided on one side.
