Property description

The private Hawksdown Estate originally came into being in the early 1920s when the well-respected builders Dennes constructed the first large and elegant detached houses on the edge of a field beside Hawksdown Road. During the next few years additional properties were built on large plots but much of the land was still fields full of sheep until after World War II. At that stage the then Mayor of Deal was persuaded to purchase the rest of the land to gradually sell off suitably sized parcels of land for the building of individual houses that would fit in with those already in existence to prevent it becoming a bungalow estate. It now consists of some 65 elegant detached residences enclosed in quiet and tranquil surroundings, many discreetly hidden in large gardens along a charming private road and down small secluded cul de sacs.

This property is one such lovely house. It was built more than 45 years ago on a large corner plot and is surrounded by a high hedge, a wraparound garden and terrace extending to nearly a third of an acre. From the moment you enter the warm and welcoming entrance hall you can feel the light and airy ambience as you wander into the lounge with its raised modern fireplace and picture windows providing wonderful views across the garden. There is virtually a wall of bi folding glass doors to the dining room that when they are open provides a wonderful entertainment space for parties and family celebrations. Adjacent is the attractive kitchen that includes a built in double oven and hob, a breakfast bar as well as a matching dishwasher and fridge, a useful hatch to the dining room and access to the garden. There is also a downstairs shower room while at the top of the trendy staircase is an equally interesting galleried landing leading to the family bathroom and four double bedrooms. A real ‘star of the show’ has to be the great outdoors - the beautifully maintained and very secluded garden is a credit to the owners.

What the Owner says:

We have lived in this house since it was built and it has been a wonderful family home for since 1970. However it has been necessary to make a move so the house is immediately available for new owners. In all the time we have been here we have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the marvellous Hawksdown estate community. It is very quiet and peaceful as well as being very safe for children and I hope another family will be able to enjoy everything about it as much as we have. At the same time we are within walking distance of a selection of local shops as well as the seafront and are not far from the bus stop and the mainline station and Deal with its individual shops and restaurants is only a short drive.
One of the things that originally attracted us to the place was the large plot and over the years we have developed the garden to provide a wonderful outdoor space. There is a vast terrace where you can enjoy al fresco entertaining and barbecues throughout the summer and if you want to relax you can watch fish in the attractive pond or just sunbathe undisturbed. For anyone interested in ‘grow your own’ there is a greenhouse, garden storage shed and raised beds and a lawn large enough for the children to have a game of football or build a play area. At the front of the house the brick paved driveway leading to the double garage offers space for off road parking but is also surrounded by mature shrubs and flower borders to provide an immediate welcome to family and visitors.
