College Road, Deal, 3 Bed. House

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

So close you can smell the sea air, this utterly charming detached home in Deal has the scale of an Edwardian house with chic interiors that give it an edge. A wide hallway welcomes you with checkerboard tiling. Lovely, cosy spaces have been created in the two reception rooms, made all the more snug by the working fire in the dining room. By contrast, the breakfast room, with its bi-fold doors, blurs the outside and in, creating a fluid space drenched in light.

The house has been intuitively decorated in colours that are perfectly in keeping with it's character, albeit with bold modern touches. Take, for example, the contemporary freestanding bath with a jade surround befitting a boutique hotel and the fresh mint green of the kitchen with pearl-white tiles. Upstairs, already good-sized bedrooms feel even bigger thanks to high ceilings and enjoy the added bonus of built-in cupboards and original fireplaces. Outside, the garden brims and blooms, with a pizza oven for making the most of your very own oasis.

Deal is a coastal town with a scene. Famed for its arts and live music, and with renowned restaurants such as The Rose and great gig spot The Lighthouse, it attracts locals and weekenders all year. Who can resist the weekly market where you can pick up cinnamon buns and sup organic wine, or the annual Deal Braderie, selling antiques and all-things-vintage? And then, of course, there's the beach. Wide, sweeping and ever-changing, it's good for the soul, whatever the weather.

THE OWNERS SAY

There aren't many properties in Deal with such good proportions as this one. If we kept the property, I would love to convert the roof––you might even get a view of the sea!

Being so close to the wonderful, independent high street and not needing a car to get everything I need makes it an effortless holiday home, if not a permanent base.
