House For Sale £1,250,000
Seymour House is a most unusual period property. Dating from the mid-18th century, the house was altered in Victorian times with the addition of the front bay etc. Located a short distance from Walmer’s seafront, Seymour House has spacious and characterful accommodation. Styled with flair and imagination, the house is currently arranged as a principal house together with a self-contained cottage; within the main house is a lower ground floor annexe. With little physical alteration the house could easily be utilised as one large family home, incorporating the cottage within the main accommodation.
Elegant steps lead up to the front into a welcoming reception hall. To the right is the kitchen/breakfast room, a wonderful room that is full of character. Old pine cupboards and a central island are framed against a backdrop of natural brick walls with reclaimed wooden shelves. There is ample space for a table and chairs for informal dining. A central fireplace has walkways to each side leading to a bright sitting room; a dining area beyond has lovely views over the garden. Double doors lead out to the terrace. There is access through to a cosy snug and to the stairs to the lower ground floor.
Upstairs are the two principal reception rooms. The light drawing room has a lovey oriel window facing south. Next door is the dining room – the perfect place for long dinner parties with friends or family celebrations. Also on this floor are the two main bedrooms, the family bathroom and a cloakroom. Stairs rise to the top floor where there are two further good sized bedrooms.
The lower ground floor provides a self-contained living space, benefitting from a comfortable sitting room and a compact kitchen with traditional tiled flooring and an integrated oven/hob. There are also a utility room, a double bedroom and a shower room. This is the perfect “teenager pad”!
The Cottage
The Cottage has its own separate entrance on the lower ground floor. The reception hall is particularly striking and features a gallery with a glass balustrade overlooking the family room below. A bright sitting room provides extra space for entertainment. A compact and well fitted kitchen at the back has access to a small patio area. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a modern shower room.<br /><br />Walmer is a fantastic coastal town with a superb range of amenities. The property is close to the beautiful pebble beachfront with coastal walks to Kingsdown cliffs and Sandwich Bay. Walmer Castle and its award winning gardens are also nearby. There are several well regarded state and independent schools in the area.
Neighbouring Deal, with its Tudor castle and former winner of the Daily Telegraph's "High Street of the Year" award, offers an array of shops, educational and leisure facilities. Golf courses nearby include the historic Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich.
