Seasalter Beach, Whitstable, CT5

Salad Days

Designed and built by local developers Fred&Ginger, this beautiful modern home sits on the exclusive private road of Seasalter Beach, capturing stunning views across Whitstable Bay.

Situated a short stroll from Whitstable with its array of independent shops and cafes, the house takes inspiration from the local landscape and coastline with vertical larch rainscreen cladding, zinc seamed roof and black steel railings.

Accessing the property via Seasalter Beach, Salad Days enjoys a commanding position with parking for four cars. A path leads down to the front entrance with reclaimed timber steps, landscaped gardens with mature olive trees and palms to the side.

Entering through the impressive oversized front door a large glass block wall forms part of the double height entrance lobby. A raw steel staircase leads up to the first-floor master bedroom suite with Industrial style glazed doors.

First floor suite

The upper corridor with high vaulted ceilings, exposed steels and timber beams, leads to two separate dressing rooms, both with stunning shower rooms. To the left is a laundry chute.
Soft clay plaster and reclaimed timber on the walls of the main bedroom sit perfectly with beautifully bespoke furniture. A pair of double doors lead on to a separate bathroom with freestanding bath and breathtaking views out to sea through large glass windows.

A partly enclosed balcony with a mixed array of planters and seating looks over the rear gardens and terraces.

Ground floor

On the ground floor the bespoke open-plan kitchen and dining area sit between front and rear balconies taking advantage of the views and natural day light.

The central island laid with handmade Japanese tiles and seating compliment the beautifully crafted kitchen cabinets housing Wolf appliances, including main oven, steam oven, integrated coffee machine and wonderful range cooker with central hot plate and gas burners.

The dining area sits next to a low breakfast bar looking out to sea with overhead gantries and bespoke glazed cabinets.

Aluminium framed glass sliding doors open on to a middle floor balcony and form part of a voluminous sitting room with a stunning suspended log burner, marble hearth below and storage for logs.

Connecting this room is the open plan TV snug, with handmade curved cabinets.

Lower ground

A separate steel staircase takes you down to the lower hallway with two further bedrooms, both with large well-crafted en-suite bathrooms.

Tucked away off the hall is the laundry and plant room.

Further along the hallway, an open plan study looks over a second dining and drinks area with bar and seating for eight. Alongside is a sunken seating area with built in planters with an assortment of house plants that looks out to a sunny tiled terrace.

Tall sliding doors standing at 3.6 meters span the entire width of the house creating a seamless connection from house to garden.

The private terrace is enclosed with mature olives, fig and Jasmin. Steps meander through more mature olives, ferns and specimen grasses to the tranquil beach house.

"Walking the plank" on to the reclaimed deck, salvaged from Southend pier you arrive at the beach house with outdoor kitchen and grill. A Jetty with a dining table alongside a swing seat and outdoor shower, look out to sea.
