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, designer 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 second floor apartment, now available to let, boasts an extremely large living room with period wall panelling, real oak veneer panelled walls, designer wall paper and floor to ceiling wave curtains. The room contains restored historical features such as the reclaimed cast iron fireplace with art shelf above, and historic skirting and coving. There is a contemporary, geometric media-unit in the new corner and a ladder shelving unit for displaying personal affects.

The living room leads onto the double bedroom with designer wallpaper by Rebel Walls, additional period wall panelling and floor to ceiling blackout, wave curtains.

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

The highly contemporary bathroom benefits from being dual aspect, with a window to the side and back of the room. The bathroom is fully-tiled with oversized, ‘Symphony Marble’ tiles and has a bath with over-head Roca thermostatic rain shower, stone resin ‘Lusso Stone’ washbasin, wall-hung toilet, designer flat-panel heated towel rail, and built-in tiled shelving.

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 and stairwell benefit 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. Vertical Rointe black sandblasted electric radiators are installed throughout and are fully programmable. 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). Whitstable beach front is a 7 minute walk away and Whitstable Railway station is 0.5 miles away (5 minute walk), whilst the A299 is easily accessible (4 minute drive).
