York Street, Broadstairs, CT10

Your business on York Street. A beautifully designed two-bedroom maisonette tucked behind it. Broadstairs seafront a few strides away.

This shop and maisonette form part of the same title and are being sold together, offering the chance to bring work and home rather closer in the heart of Broadstairs.

The shop has recently generated just shy of £10,000 a year in rent. The current tenant is expected to vacate around the end of 2026 or early 2027, making this particularly interesting if you have a small business of your own and want to be hands-on, with somewhere rather special to live close by.

Because the accommodation deserves considerably more than a passing mention as “the flat”.

Behind an unassuming entrance at the seafront end of York Street is a beautifully designed two-bedroom maisonette. There’s a slight “door to nowhere” feel about the entrance. Almost an MI6 safe house. Step through, though, and the secrecy makes perfect sense. Although described as a maisonette on the Land Registry title, this two-bedroom home is arranged much like a townhouse, with its own entrance and no accommodation above or below.

It feels quietly metropolitan. A little unexpected for a seaside address.

LVT flooring with underfloor heating, a beautifully designed kitchen and carefully placed LED lighting give the interior a clean, modern finish. There’s plenty to look at, but it all works together.

There are two bedrooms, an en suite and a beautifully finished downstairs bathroom. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has windows on two sides and a walk-in wardrobe, carrying that same sense of light and thoughtful design through the accommodation.

And then there’s the other reveal.

Walk back out through the front door and Broadstairs is right there. A few strides from the seafront, with the beach, restaurants, cafés and town centre woven into everyday life. In the belly of Broadstairs, in the most literal sense.

If your search begins and ends with a price-per-square-foot calculation, this one might scramble the spreadsheet. Its appeal is the combination: the setting, the finish, the courtyard, the light and a layout you’re unlikely to find repeated next door.

A shop in the middle of Broadstairs, with accommodation that could easily steal the whole show.

Viewings are straightforward to arrange.
