Beautiful beachfront home with a rich history - one of the best locations in Whitstable! The Ness was built around 1890 and was constructed out of timber ship cladding. It boasts a variety of outstanding, pretty decorative details which can be seen at both the front and the rear of the house. It has a lovely beachfront wrap around deck with a variety of plant and outdoor seating. A key feature is the beautiful wooden and glass fronted conservatory with breathtaking views of the Whitstable Bay. The house is a true delight for a family stay where you can enjoy the full seaside experience that Whitstable has to offer e.g. walking, fishing, canoeing, crabbing, sailing, dining out in the array of local restaurants and meandering in the pretty local shops of harbour street. The house is furnished with beautiful items from the likes of Harrods, Biba and French antiques which have been carefully curated within this property to be shared and appreciated by its visitors. While staying at The Ness; you will experience a truly luxury stay with white Egyptian cotton sheets, fluffy white towels and fresh flowers to name but a few of the special touches the owner will provide.
Mr & Mrs Kennedy have owned this property for 40 years and have lovingly renovated this house to its former glory. Mr Kennedy is always on call to offer help and advice about the house or for Whitstable information in general. The Kennedy's offers its guests to celebrate with family and friends at The Ness or just relax and unwind while staying at this splendid family house!
The house is sea facing and it's possible to walk straight onto the beach from the garden decked area. In low tide you can walk out to the sea and enjoy collecting cockles, shrimping or just walking along the coast to Seasalter. On high tide its ideal for swimming or for playing on the shingle and the sandy beach . Theres also a beautiful promenade for walking to the Harbour or to Seasalter. The house is positioned between the Harbour and the The Whitstable Oyster Fishery which are both a 2 minute walk away. Whitstable itself has many artisan delicatessens, butchers, florists, tea shops, cafes and individual boutiques to explore and enjoy. A car is not really needed as there are plenty of lovely walks to enjoy with the kids and your dog! Bike hire is available in Harbour street at a reasonable price. Buses are also available in Harbour street to Canterbury where you can do some great sightseeing.
