Salt @ Elizabeth House is a collection of luxury one-bed apartments housed in a grand, historic Victorian building, set back from the road at the tail-end of Whitstable High Street. Elizabeth House was built in 1851 by local architect John Lee who also built the adjacent Western House (now The Royal British Legion).

Inspired by the local salt marshes that once stretched from Whitstable to Seasalter, the newly reimagined, apartments of Salt @ Elizabeth House incorporate subtle, earthy textures and colour palettes reminiscent of the local, natural environment.

The apartments have been fully renovated, with a focus on creating an exceptional place for people to live with thoughtful and considered design decisions, a high calibre specification and outstanding attention to detail.

This first floor apartment, now available to let, boasts an extremely large bedroom with period wall panelling, built-in oak veneer wardrobe, double-glazed sash window, floor to ceiling wave curtains and a wool-rich carpet. The adjacent hallway boasts a large utility cupboard for storage. The living room has additional period wall panelling and contains restored historical features such as the reclaimed cast iron fireplace, and historic skirting and coving as well as floor to ceiling wave curtains.

The separate, contemporary, newly fitted kitchen has appliances including an integrated fridge freezer, induction hob, built-in oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and resin sink, and benefits from a designer, solid surface worktop, birch ply open shelving and tiled back-splashes.

The highly contemporary bathroom benefits from a large sash window filling the room with light. The bathroom is fully-tiled and has a bath with over-head Roca thermostatic rain shower, wash basin and vanity unit, wall-hung toilet, designer flat-panel heated towel rail, and built-in tiled niche.

High quality Moduleo Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring with a washed oak finish has been installed in living areas, kitchen and bathroom whilst the bedroom benefits from new, wool-rich, Sandy Springs carpet.

All windows have fitted blinds and floor to ceiling, lined, wave curtains are found in the living room and bedroom.

The apartment offers LED lighting, screwless flat-plate sockets by Heritage Brass and traditional, rustic nickel dolly light switches. A gas boiler and vertical black radiators are installed throughout and are fully programmable via the Bosch Easy-Control panel and the property is rated EPC ‘B’ . The apartment benefits from an intercom entry system with a Videx flat panelled speaker unit in the living room.

Access to the apartment is via an entrance at the rear of the property. Elizabeth House is ideally located for Whitstable High Street (30 second walk) and all the amenities and entertainment that this offers, including the café Fable and Green (next door), The East Kent pub (opposite) and Grain and Hearth bakery (opposite).
