Speedwell Drive, Whitstable CT5

Nestled within a small and exclusive development in the ever-popular seaside town of Whitstable, this bright and airy three-bedroom detached home offers well-balanced accommodation just a short stroll from the beach and a range of local amenities. Originally built in the early 2000s, the property combines charm with modern practicality, making it ideal for families, downsizers, or those seeking a coastal retreat.

The attractive façade blends red and pale brickwork beneath a distinctive Dutch gable roof, complemented by UPVC windows and a welcoming front door sheltered by a tiled canopy. To the right, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to an attached garage—offering excellent storage, further parking, or the potential for conversion into additional living space (subject to necessary consents).

Ground floor:

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a convenient cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. To the right, a spacious dual-aspect sitting room flows seamlessly into the dining area via an elegant arched opening—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.
French doors from the dining room lead out to the rear garden, while adjacent lies the kitchen, fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances including an oven, hob, and stainless steel sink with mixer tap overlooking the garden. Subject to structural considerations and precedent set by neighbouring properties, the wall between the kitchen and dining room could be removed to create a modern open-plan living space.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for low maintenance while retaining a welcoming and tranquil atmosphere. A central circular patio creates an attractive focal point, surrounded by pebbled areas and container planting for added greenery and texture.

To the front, the private driveway leads to the garage, which is attached to the property and presents further potential for conversion into additional accommodation (subject to planning).
