One of the most iconic and expensive homes in the Whitstable area is now on the market.

Cliff Dene House, a five-bedroom detached house overlooking Tankerton slopes, gives its residents a prime spot on Marine Parade - but it will cost you £3.25m for the privilege.

The beautiful seaside house, designed by Edwardian architect Sir Basil Champney, is one of the most expensive seaside houses on the market in Kent.

With its rooftop terrace and balcony, landscaped south-facing garden and panoramic views of the sea, it’s not hard to understand why it’s gained such a hefty price tag.

This beachfront property is only a stone’s throw from the pebbly shores and within walking distance of Tankerton and Whitstable town centre.

However, the inside of the house has just as much to offer as its outdoor features.

The property offers five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing room, five bathrooms and a kitchen and breakfast room with underfloor heating and views of the sea.

There are also four generous reception rooms, including a dining room and living room with a balcony.

For those who like to work from home there is a study, and if you prefer to relax there is also a tranquil garden room with bi-folding doors.

The house is fitted with lots of modern conveniences, such as a Miele dishwasher, Liebherr double larder fridge, Nu-Heat underfloor heating, LED ceiling spotlights and a double garage with remotely operated double door.
