Description

This four-bedroom, detached bungalow with integral garage and driveway is situated right in the heart of Tankerton, coastal Whitstable, and around the corner from the seafront. The property offers well set out and versatile accommodation, beginning with the large, welcoming entrance hallway, from which the other rooms are accessed. The ground floor layout comprises spacious L-shaped lounge-diner, kitchen, conservatory, three bedrooms, master with en-suite, and family bathroom. The fourth bedroom is located in the converted loft, leaving a good deal of loft space remaining for storage or further possible conversion if required. Externally, there is an integral garage, which could similarly allow for further living accommodation if desired. The well-established front and rear gardens are haven of trees, shrubs and flowering plants, making this a wonderful retreat from the bustling town centre of Whitstable. The respective High Streets of Tankerton and Whitstable offer a wide range of eateries and drinking establishments, as well as independent boutiques and barista-owned cafes. The excellent transport links and broader amenities, all on the doorstep, have been instrumental in making Whitstable the hugely poplar town it is today.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
