Whether you are looking for a permanent home or a fascinating seaside holiday and weekend retreat, location is always the number one priority and this unusual property is in the ultimate position. It is located along Deal seafront, just opposite the famous pier with uninterrupted sea views, but less than a minute’s walk from the town centre along the adjacent alleyway.

This charming Grade II listed Georgian townhouse was originally built in 1726 and is full of historic character with wonderful period features including sash windows, exposed beams and fireplaces. It also has an attached cottage at the rear that makes an excellent annex for family members or as a holiday let. The house is accessed through the front door that opens directly into the delightful and spacious lounge/diner with exposed ceiling beams, wood flooring and two brick fireplaces including one with a log burner in the seating area.

There are stairs to the first floor, steps down to the cellar, fitted cupboards and a brick archway to the kitchen. This has a range cooker and units with stand-alone appliances and a large hatch to the dining area as well as a cloakroom and French doors to a fascinating courtyard. This is partially covered and includes a cast iron fireplace, a utility and boiler cupboard, storage facilities, a period rear door with access to the alleyway and the annexe as well steps up to a delightful covered and decked balustraded balcony. The large brick cellar could be converted into a cinema, games room or offices, subject to the appropriate planning permissions.

On the first floor off the galleried landing there is the main bedroom with a feature brick wall and fireplace as well as steps up to a multi-pane door leading to the decked balcony where you can happily sip your morning coffee. The bedroom includes an exposed central beam, built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with bath, a separate shower and an airing cupboard. This floor also features another large double bedroom, currently used as a light and bright study with two sash windows providing superb views to the pier, the beach and the sea. Stairs, with a feature brick wall, lead up to the second floor where you will find a galleried landing with loft access and a shower room servicing two partially vaulted ceiling double bedrooms including one with far reaching sea views

The pine front door of the adjacent annexe opens into a small hallway with a built in pine cupboard, a door to the living room and an archway to the kitchen with units incorporating a cooker and other stand-alone appliances. The living room has half height panelling, a painted beam ceiling, sash windows and pine stairs to the fabulous first floor annexe bedroom with a vaulted and beamed ceiling and an en suite shower room.

I have actually lived in Deal for the past 55 years and in this charming house for many years but I now feel it is time to downsize. I have always loved the town with its plethora of quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants including the Dining Club, The Blue Pelican and Little Harriet’s tea rooms and a raft of attractive independent shops as well as the Saturday market and the seafront with its historic pier. Indeed living opposite the pier I thoroughly enjoy watching the people passing by and the activities on the pier and the beach as well as being able to stroll to the shops in a minute.

For sporting aficionados there are a number of clubs available in Deal and Walmer including rugby, bowls, tennis and croquet as well as the Tides swimming pool complex, the Downs Sailing club and the rowing club. While for golfing enthusiasts the Royal Cinque Ports and Kingsdown and Walmer golf clubs might beckon or, if you want to go slightly further afield, there are the championship golf courses in Sandwich.

There are excellent primary schools in the area including Warden House, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while excellent grammar schools are available in Dover, Sandwich, Ramsgate and Canterbury with first class private schools in Dover, Ramsgate and Canterbury. These are easily accessible by train from Deal station, which is only a short walk from the property. The station is also useful for commuters as the fast train can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half and if you want a trip to the Continent there is easy access to Dover docks and the Channel Tunnel.
