What the Owner says:
I have lived in Deal for nearly 20 years and, as an artist and designer, I was always attracted to this very individual property and was thrilled when it came up for sale about seven years ago. I thought it would be my ‘forever' home but I need to move nearer to my family.
The location is very convenient as there are local shops nearby, the seafront is easily accessible and the train station is only half a mile away with the high speed train to London taking under an hour and 20 minutes and it is only a short drive to Dover and Folkestone for the Continent.
There are shops, bars and restaurants along the Strand that includes the Downs Sailing Clubhouse. The Tides swimming pool complex is not far away and Deal is close by with its quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants, independent shops, Saturday market and historic pier.
There are the Kingsdown and Walmer and the Royal Cinque Ports golf clubs and very good primary schools in the area while a wide variety of excellent grammar and private schools are available in the nearby towns.
