Full Details for 7 Bedroom Detached for sale in Deal, CT14 :

This property in Walmer is probably one of the most versatile properties on the market in south east Kent. With its lift to the top floor, seven bedrooms and four reception rooms in the main house and a large bungalow annex with five rooms and a bathroom attached to the rear. This substantial Victorian property could be used for a wide variety of purposes, in the past it was a nursing home but the current owners converted it back to a private house when they moved in 12 years ago with their five children.

From the moment you turn into the new block paved driveway you are drawn to this impressive property, with its turrets and stained glass windows and once you enter the hall, the turn-of-the-last-century feeling continues. There are original Victorian tiles on the hall floor and many other period features can be seen as you wander through the property, such as marble fireplaces, wide skirting boards and original wood floors in many of the rooms.

At the same time it has been sensitively updated to provide 21st century living and includes a modern kitchen with a range cooker as well as an enormous utility room that can take two washing machines and two tumble dryers as well as a full size freezer. The ground floor also incorporates two sitting rooms, a large dining room, a family room and a doorway connecting to the large annex. The first floor has a study on the half landing as well as three double bedrooms and a very modern bathroom with a double shower, whilst the top floor has two large bedrooms with wonderful views, a nursery, a bathroom and a good sized single bedroom. Outside the large garden has two separate areas with a pond, decking, dovecot and a couple of garden sheds.

What the Owner says:


“This house has been a wonderful family home for many years and we will be sorry to leave it. However, circumstances have changed and we feel it is time to downsize. At the same time we really think this could be the ultimate inter-generational property – particularly in today’s world where more and more children are staying at home for longer because it is difficult for them to raise a deposit for a place of their own. For instance, you could have your son or daughter and their partner living on the top floor with their children, while elderly relations were in the large annex. However, because there is a lift that goes to all floors, it would be equally possible to have grandparents living upstairs as you wouldn’t have to worry about their being able to use the stairs as time went on.
Conversely, it could be turned into a guest house, a bed and breakfast or even a children’s home with the owners/managers living in the annex and all the main rooms available for the kids. As we have a lift it would also be possible to provide a home for disabled children, which is not always easy. The opportunities are endless. We used to foster children as well as bringing up our own and the house has always been a wonderful place for entertaining, with large lunch and supper parties, barbecues and family celebrations.
We spent many years refurbishing the house to make it into a lovely family home and have just finished installing a new drive.
