1 Shipwrights Lee has been recently refurbished to a very high standard. It retains the character of the original boatyard building while not forsaking any of the creature comforts. The heritage building, set in a Conservation Area of Whitstable, and directly on the beach, was formerly the “Top Shop” of the boatyard business where new designs were created.

The house has a deck at the front on the ground floor, and a balcony on the first floor, perfect for watching the sunset. In winter it is wonderful to sit behind the double glazed french doors and watch storms rolling by, while summer invites lazy afternoons and perhaps even a quick dip?

The house has underfloor heating below Italian granite floors on the lower level, plus central heating throughout. Upstairs is solid French Oak floors and a cathedral ceiling with two skylights. There is parking, WiFi, a Bluetooth speaker, Smart TV, and Hypnos beds to assure you comfort while you unwind.

  • LIVING ROOM

    You cannot escape from the view of the sea from the living room. Our favourite time is early morning when the tide is out and you can watch the Oysters being harvested.
