About this property

This delightful, semi-detached cottage sits at the end of a quiet country lane in the charming rural hamlet of Marshside in the heart of the beautiful Kent countryside. Built in 1776, this character cottage near Whitstable is the perfect place for families looking to enjoy time together. Three attractive bedrooms make up the sleeping accommodation, and the layout of this Marshside cottage has not changed since its design in the 18th century. The master bedroom still provides the only access to the other bedrooms, making it the perfect quirky, family cottage. The welcoming sitting room at this Marshside cottage benefits from comfortable seating and a homely woodburning stove, whilst the kitchen, decorated in a typical country style, offers an ideal place to dine together with pretty views out to the garden. Outside this cottage near Herne Bay is a large enclosed rear garden, a perfect place to dine alfresco as the sun goes down, or you can try your hand at catching one of the little fish that swim by in the fenced stream that flows idyllically at the end of the garden. Surrounding your Marshside cottage is an abundance of footpaths and cycleways, with the Kent cycle path, The Viking Coastal Trail, adjoining the fields at the end of the lane, moments from your doorstep, and the Saxon Shore Way leading straight past the cottage. After a day exploring Canterbury, Herne Bay, or Whitstable all within ten miles of your cottage near Whitstable, why not stop for a refreshing pint direct from the cask? When you have finished exploring, return to the cosiness of this delightful Marshside cottage.
