About this property

This property is found in a wonderful seafront location, directly on the beach in the village of Seasalter in East Kent. At high tide, the waves lap gently just a few metres from the property’s spacious decked seating area, and there are miles of beach walks to be enjoyed from the property’s front door, including the 35-minute walk to the popular, fashionable town of Whitstable, just 2 miles away. The village itself is home to one of the area’s most highly-regarded gastropubs, as well as a handy village shop. For a wider range of shops, as well as the historic cathedral, large theatre, and cinema, why not spend the day in Canterbury, which is just 6 miles from the property.

Guests will instantly fall in love with this stunning loft-style beach house, which has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout. The first thing that guests will notice is the sense of space and light which has been carefully created here, thanks to the open-plan arrangement, double-height ceiling, skylights, and glass wall which opens onto the spacious seafront veranda. The owners have paid careful attention to detail to create a stylish space, with comfortable furnishings and on-trend decoration. There is a large corner sofa for guests to relax on and enjoy the view to the beach, or instead perhaps fire up the wood burner and curl up in front of a film on the Smart TV. The dining area occupies one corner of the open-plan space, from where a door leads through to the conservatory kitchen which offers a Range-style oven, hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, washing machine, and dishwasher. The double bed is located in the opposite corner of the room to the dining area, whilst a sofa bed can be found upstairs on the loft-style mezzanine floor. This is a click-clack double sofa bed that will be made up as a bed if booked for 3 people, or for 2 people who prefer separate beds (bedding available). The bathroom has a fashionable, sleek feel to it and offers a bath, separate shower, and WC.

The spacious decked terrace to the front of the property is situated right on the beach, and is a spectacular place from which to enjoy the fresh air and the relaxing sound of waves from the table and chairs provided. There is also a pretty marine-style garden to the side of the property, and off-road driveway parking for two cars.

Please note that there is over a meter drop at the end of the decking area overlooking the beach. This may make this property unsuitable for children.

    Had a wonderful week at Beach 221. The beach house was very comfortable and had everything you needed for a week away. The beach was quiet and made a great place to relax just listening or watching the ever changing tides. Some lovely seaside towns to visit like Whitstable or Herne Bay. Canterbury also makes a lovely day out. A great beach house experience.

    Beach 221 is a beautiful place to stay. It is well maintained and comfortable, the hosts have provided everything to make a stay relaxing and restful. The location is fabulous, we enjoyed the walks up the beach to visit Whitstable. The local pub The Oyster Pearl is only a stone’s throw away and serves delicious food. 10/10, We would return.

    If you want a house with a view and a beach to step down to, this is the place for you. Also, very friendly locals in the local cafe and Oyster Pearl, and the place to heal the soul.
