Fisherman's Cottage

This Grade II listed cottage is a flint faced, stone built house in the square, dated 1649 and named after the Union of the Commonwealth. The cottage has four floors connected by charming wooden spiral staircases. It has been extensively modernised, with a fully fitted and large kitchen provided with an gas hob and electric grill/oven, refrigerator, freezer, washing machine and drier, filter coffee maker and microwave. There is central heating, colour TV with teletext and a VCR. The lounge and dining room are on the ground floor.

On the first floor there is a bathroom with shower and toilet and two bedrooms; the first has a double bed and wash hand basin, the second is accessed through dividing doors from the first, with 2 bunk beds. Above is the third bedroom, with a double bed, wash hand basin and toilet; thus sleeping 6 in total. There is a barbecue and outdoor garden furniture. Having the virtues of a pedestrian area, no parking or car access is possible but ample all day street parking exists within very short distances.

Fisherman's Cottage lies in a secluded pedestrian conservation area next to "Bleak House" where Charles Dickens lived. The property is only 1 minute's walk from Broadstairs' two delightful Kentish Beaches and with a Harbour first built by Henry VIII.
