FEATURES
DIRECT SEA VIEWS
REQUIRES GENERAL MODERNISATION
2/3 BEDROOMS WITH POTENTIAL TO EXTEND
NO ONWARD CHAIN - VACANT POSSESSION
MUCH FAVOURED RESIDENTIAL LOCATION
Description
A most attractive detached chalet, which was individually built to specific requirements, and now requires general modernisation and improvement. The appealing front elevation with diamond lead light windows enjoys an open aspect across Joy Lane to the sea beyond, whilst the southerly aspect to the rear ensures the garden is a real sun trap.
It is considered the property offers potential for extension and could, subject to consents being obtained, be enlarged to create a four bedroom family home. This opportunity, coupled with the favoured Joy Lane address, makes this an interesting proposition.
Location
Hideaway is situated on the south side of Joy Lane opposite the Rose in Bloom public house and as such enjoys direct sea views of both the Swale and Thames estuaries.
A footpath, a short distance away, leads down to the promenade and beach whilst just along the road there is a sub post office/general store.
Whitstable town centre with its good range of independent retailers, harbour, yacht club and interesting mix of cafes, bars and renowned seafood restaurants is just a 20 minute walk. Whitstable also enjoys good communications with a main line service to London Victoria and Cannon Street taking approximately 90 minutes.
