Faversham Road, Seasalter, Whitstable, Kent, CT5

For sale by Traditional Method of Auction; Starting Bid Price £135.000 plus Reservation Fee.

Situated along the ever-popular Faversham Road in Whitstable, just one row back from the seafront, this detached bungalow presents a rare and exciting opportunity for complete refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Positioned in a prime coastal setting, the property enjoys immediate proximity to the beach while remaining set back enough to offer privacy. The seafront is only moments away, making this an exceptional prospect for those looking to create a stunning coastal residence or high-end holiday home in one of Whitstable’s most sought-after locations.

The bungalow now requires full modernisation throughout and is offered as a true blank canvas. The existing footprint provides scope for reconfiguration, extension or potential replacement (STPP), depending on a buyer’s vision. Detached plots in this position are rarely available and offer significant long-term potential.

Due to its current condition, the property is suitable for cash buyers only.

Externally, the property sits on its own plot with driveway space and scope to dramatically enhance kerb appeal and outdoor living areas.

Faversham Road is perfectly positioned for access to Whitstable’s working harbour, vibrant High Street, boutique shops and renowned restaurants, while Whitstable station offers direct links to London, making the location equally attractive for permanent residence or investment.

The property is being sold via the Traditional Auction and would particularly suit developers, investors or experienced renovators seeking a coastal project with strong upside potential.

A rare opportunity to acquire a detached coastal property just moments from the sea and transform it into something truly special.

Location
The popular seaside town of Whitstable is situated on the stunning North Kent coast, 7 miles north of the historical city of Canterbury and less than 60 miles from central London. With its quaint alley ways, colourful high street and peaceful shingle beaches this town has a lot to offer both residents and holiday makers. For entertainment there are excellent water sport facilities, plenty of art galleries, and a wealth of independently run restaurants, boutiques and cafes to enjoy along the vibrant high street. The Crab and Winkle Way, one of the earliest passenger railways and the first ever steam-powered railway in the world, follows the disused railway line between Canterbury and Whitstable, and is now a popular walking and cycle route through woods and countryside. Road links via the A299 Thanet Way give easy access to the M2 for travel to London and beyond. Whitstable also has a main line train station providing fast and frequent links into London Victoria (1hr 30 mins) and London St Pancras (1hr 11mins).
