House For Sale £850,000
Set back from the road behind a gated entrance lies Bridge House, situated in the peaceful village of Hacklinge, on the outskirts of Deal. A deceptively spacious family home and is understood to date from the 19th Century with later additions. The property has been extended and modernised over the years and now provides a home offering versatile and flexible accommodation. Approached via electric gates for added security through to a gravel drive, the house stands in its own sheltered and private grounds, enjoying a slightly elevated position. The accommodation has a wealth of period charm, with ceiling beams, polished wooden floors and several fireplaces.
Upon arrival, you are greeted by a glazed entrance porch which leads through to a handy utility room then into the hub of the home, a generous country style kitchen/breakfast room with oil fired range and Belfast sink. There are several rooms leading off the kitchen including a large inner reception hall with feature fireplace, from here there is a large study with bay window, guest WC and a conservatory, providing views of the glorious rear garden.
There is an abundance of living space on offer with a formal, double aspect living room to the front with brick built, inglenook fireplace and French doors providing access to the garden. The dining room large enough for a dining table and grand piano, this lovely room also provides access to the garden.
Upstairs, the sense of character continues with four bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities with a range of built-in wardrobes and chest of draws. Three bedrooms are generous double rooms with the fourth currently being used as a walk-in dressing room. The landing has access to the loft for storage and a useful airing cupboard.
Externally, the front gravelled forecourt is enclosed and accessed via remote controlled wrought iron gates open in front of the property which leads to a detached double garage with up-and-over door, personal door and an external staircase leads to studio room over with power, this room could provide a variety of uses from home office to self-contained annex for multi generation living. Along the southwest elevation, you’ll find a large patio, facing South-West, which leads on to mainly lawned Garden to the side featuring a fine monkey puzzle tree and flowerbeds stocked with a variety of plants, flowers, and shrubs, together with an arbour clad with climbing plants including jasmine, roses and clematis. This leads on to a further lawned area of garden surrounded with screening hedge and further mature plants and shrubs. A further terrace runs along the north west elevation which leads down to a sunken patio. In separate area, there are timber built garden sheds and timber built summerhouse.
Deal is a town situated in Kent, which lies on the English Channel, eight miles north-east of Dover and eight miles south of Ramsgate. This former fishing and mining town became a 'limb port' of the Cinque Ports in 1278 and grew into the busiest port in England. In 1968, “Middle Street” was the first Conservation Area in Kent, its quaint streets and houses are a reminder of its history along with many ancient buildings and monuments including, most notably, Deal and Walmer Castles. Today it is a seaside resort with its award-winning High Street, high-speed train Links to St Pancras and independent shops. An array of cafes and pubs sit along the picturesque seafront that is home to a sweeping pier and is approximately 3 miles from the property.
The historic Medieval market town of Sandwich is also approximately 3 miles away and is situated on the River Stour with water-based communities both upstream and downstream including a seal colony which can be viewed from vessels in the estuary where the river meets Pegwell Bay. Famous Golf Courses include Royal St Georges and Princes where the British Open Tournament has been held on a couple of occasions, the area is also hugely important for migrating birds with the British Trust for Ornithology operating from their base at Sandwich Bay which is within the desirable residential private estate. Sandwich town is made up of often narrow streets with excellent examples of timber framed buildings, to the extent that Strand Street has the longest unbroken stretch of such buildings in England. This charming town feels like a village and has a real sense of community and a quieter pace of life where independent retail can still be found.
