The Halt is a small quiet development of 14 properties on the edge of Whitstable, located close to the Thanet Way. Six properties were built as shared ownership, and eight are rented. They consist of 12 three bed houses, 1 two bed house and 1 two bedroom wheelchair adapted bungalow.

The scheme was built in 1997, is not registered as a co-operative, and will remain under CDS Co-operatives’s ownership.

All properties have central heating, double glazing and private back gardens. Some have driveways; others have the use of parking spaces.

The properties are approximately two miles from Whitstable town centre, Canterbury and Herne Bay can easily be reached by car but public transport provision is limited. There is a large supermarket a few minutes away, other facilities are in Whitstable.

All rented properties have assured tenancies and Canterbury City Council has 100% nominations from their housing register. If you are interested in purchasing a shared ownership property you will need to apply to the local estate agents in the area. The Society does not keep a list of potential sellers or buyers.
