About this home
PERIOD CHARM | CHAIN FREE | SHORT STROLL TO TOWN & SHOPS This beautifully presented two-bedroom Grade II listed cottage is situated in an enviable position along Borstal Hill in coastal Whitstable. Offering a quintessential period aesthetic paired with easy living, the property comes to the market with the distinct advantage of being sold chain free. Inside, the home opens into a characterful open-plan reception and dining space.
