Positioned in the heart of the ever-popular Tankerton Road retail parade in Tankerton high street, this attractive mixed-use freehold property presents an excellent opportunity for owner occupiers, investors, or lifestyle purchasers seeking multiple income streams in a highly desirable coastal location.

The ground floor comprises a well-presented retail unit, formerly operating as a gift shop, benefitting from strong pedestrian footfall and excellent visibility within this sought-after trading position. The retail accommodation further benefits from a substantial frontage area, offering potential to create a private courtyard seating or external display space, enhancing both customer appeal and usability.

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).
