Property description
Imagine the perfect seaside home directly on the sea front and commanding panoramic sea views. This impressive period home combines all the character associated with the Victorian era with the practicalities of the 21st century. It has been superbly restored by the present owners who have enjoyed the outstanding views and convenience of its location for the past twelve years. They have been keen to preserve the period character and have retained many of the original features whilst sympathetically improving the comfort and way the house functions as a home. The high ceiling rooms radiate from a central staircase with an ornate balustrade and hardwood handrail that winds its way up from the entrance hall through to the upper floors. Attractive fireplaces, decoratively panelled doors, picture rails and ornate plaster cornices exist alongside essentials taken for granted in a modern home. The master bedroom boasts an en-suite, having a “Mira” thermostatically controlled shower and the family bathroom brings more than a touch of luxury to this very desirable home. Likewise the kitchen is aesthetically pleasing to the eye; the warm honey tones of the pine cupboards and fitted Welsh dresser create a cosy ambience in this practical work place. This is clearly a pleasurable place to prepare and cook meals, plentiful working surfaces, integrated refrigerator and a large “Leisure” range with two ovens and a grill beneath a five burner gas hob, including a wok burner and hotplate. The Welsh slate effect ceramic floor tiling in the Kitchen extends into the utility room and through the hallway into the dining room. Virtually maintenance free double glazed windows, faithfully replicating the design of the original sliding sashes protect the house from the elements and improve the energy efficiency of the gas central heating system.
What the Owner says:
“Our friends and visitors are always drawn as if by a magnet to the lovely bay windows that capture the sea views. Our favourite room is the sitting room where we can happily sit for hours on end watching the ships and on the finest days, the French coast is clearly visible on the distant horizon. We find the vast amounts of sky and water immensely calming and provide us a constantly changing scene throughout the day. We see some amazing sun rises and the views are just as breathtaking at night, a full moon reflecting on a calm sea is a spectacular sight as are the twinkling lights of the passing ships and the lights along the French coast.
There is so much we like about our house besides the wonderful views. We are far enough out of town and away from the pier to avoid most holiday makers. Consequently the beach, which is literally twenty yards across the road, becomes a very usable amenity.
There is no finer feeling than being able to breakfast on the beach, sometimes in the company of friendly neighbours. We all tend to use the beach as if it were our own perfect setting for summertime picnics and barbecues. Another of the aspects we like most about living here is the convenience of the location, it is so nice not to have to use a car when we pop into town for a meal or shopping. It only takes five minutes to walk into Deal whether we stroll along the sea front or cut through the pretty back streets of the conservation area."
