Everyone’s complaining about house prices these days but, it’s fair to say that, on paper, £1 million for a one-bedroom house would make just about anyone’s eyes water.

This detached house in Whitstable is on the market for a seven-figure sum - but what exactly justifies such a high price tag for just one bedroom?

The location, for a start.

The property is right on the beachfront, just a stone’s throw from the sea, and there are fantastic views of the coast from the garden and dining room.

It’s also a two-minute walk from the high street with its many shops, bars and restaurants and the popular Old Neptune pub, situated on the beach, is practically a next-door neighbour.

Let’s not forget that Whitstable is one of Kent’s best-loved commuter towns, giving city workers a taste of the seaside while being less than 90 minutes from London on the train.

The garden is also a highlight of the property; not only can you sit there and watch the world go by as the promenade runs right outside your back garden, but you are also surrounded by tropical plants, palm trees and wooden decking for a ‘beach vibe’.

Inside, the house boasts, as we know, just one bedroom.

However, there’s also a bright and airy dining room, an open-plan kitchen, a modern bathroom and a lounge area, all on one floor, giving it a cosy but contemporary feel.
