Juniper Cottage is a quaint, two-bedroom Grade II listed property featuring white wooden cladding. The cottage is perfect for winter breaks, offering the ideal setting for snuggling up by the log burner with a captivating novel. In summer, it’s equally delightful for relaxing in the wild garden with a refreshing drink or a leisurely walk through the town to the beach.
Step inside Juniper Cottage and find yourself in the snug living room, where the log burner invites you to relax on the sofas with a board game or two. Beyond the staircase lies a fully equipped kitchen and diner, featuring varnished wooden worktops, a classic butler sink, an electric oven and hob, and a dishwasher for effortless cleanup. At the rear of the downstairs area, a spacious bathroom awaits, complete with a toilet, basin, and bath with an overhead shower, all decorated to create a relaxing atmosphere. In the warmer months, the delightful country garden offers a tranquil spot to enjoy a morning coffee on the decking. Ascend the stairs to discover two double bedrooms, each furnished with comfortable iron-framed beds and decorated in soothing earthy tones, perfect for a restful night’s sleep.
Note: As the property is old and on a main road, some traffic noise may be heard in the front bedroom. However there is a white noise machine you can use if you are a light sleeper, that eliminates some of the noise.
Note: Please put the garden seating cushions away in the boiler cupboard opposite the back door once you have finished using them.
Juniper Cottage boasts a prime location, just a two-minute stroll from the charming town centre and a few minutes further to the beach near the renowned Neptune pub – an ideal spot for enjoying sundowners while witnessing Whitstable’s spectacular sunsets. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity of the Duncan Downs nature reserve, offering a wealth of exploration from tranquil woodlands to serene ponds, making for a delightful walk, especially in spring when the birds sing and frogs call. The scenic Crab and Winkle Line provides a fantastic cycle and walking route through beautiful woodlands, past the pond, all the way to the historic city of Canterbury. For those arriving by train, Whitstable Station is within easy walking distance, and a leisurely walk in the other direction will take you to the historic Whitstable Castle, perfect for picnics and enjoying the park
