House For Sale £800,000
Griffin Street, Deal CT14


Description
This superb Georgian townhouse will capture your heart. A stunning family home, fabulous getaway or a sought-after holiday let in the heart of historic Deal.

An imposing Georgian townhouse with splendid views over the rooftops, gardens and narrow streets that make up Deal’s Middle Street Conservation Area.

And you’re getting a lot of period property for your money. A substantial residence over four floors make this an incredibly versatile home.

Built in about 1800, a bakery for over 150 years. History has it that the Duke of Wellington was a customer and that ship’s biscuits were baked here for Nelson’s fleet.

This is a spacious and versatile period property in a great coastal location that’s ready to move into.

But it’s also got the potential to be transformed into something very special, offering as it does, a rare and spacious south facing walled courtyard garden. Further upgrading would make a truly luxurious home or a place that’s perfect for welcoming, discerning paying guests. Or both!

The ground floor includes a well-equipped, traditional kitchen/diner to the front and a spacious lounge to the rear, leading out to the secluded south facing walled garden which is a lovely spot to sit out and enjoy the sun, with a glass of something chilled.

There’s also a shower room just by the back door - handy after a day at the beach.

Stairs lead down to the dining room and up to the bedrooms on the first and second floor.

The dining room ticks plenty of period charm boxes, with French doors, exposed brickwork and beams and room for a 12 setting dining table.

Each of the upper two floors include two good size double bedrooms with fabulous views. There’s a further bathroom on the first floor and the second floor includes a shower with separate toilet.

There’s also an under-utilised space at the front, on the lower ground floor, which could be turned into a wine-cellar or a handy utility room.

If you’re looking to enjoy a peaceful life by the sea and want to avoid the worst excesses of a noisy “seaside resort”, Deal may be just the place for you.

The traditional character and feel of the ‘smugglers lanes’ have been preserved, one of the reasons why this is such a well-loved & popular part of this historic maritime town.

There are some fantastic seafood restaurants, independent shops, pubs & coffee shops. Not to mention a selection of galleries and antique shops which cater for a discerning clientele.

Turn right as you head out of your front door and the beautiful pebble beach is only a one minute walk away. Even in your flip flops. So handy if you forgot the corkscrew for those summer lunches, suppers and barbecues!

It’s also less than ten minutes walk to the Grade II listed pier and the bustling town centre.

The town centre is pedestrianised, so it’s a great place to wander and explore.

You can pick up the promenade at the end of the road - it extends around a mile to the north towards the golf club or south down to Walmer. It’s a great place for an evening stroll or a brisk morning walk to catch the stunning sunrise.

For those who favour walks over immaculately mowed fairways and manicured greens, there’s the Royal Cinque Ports and Walmer & Kingsdown golf clubs.

Royal St George’s, Sandwich (which has hosted 15 Open Championships, dating back to 1894) is less than a 20 minute drive away.

If you prefer country walks and historic sites to strolls along the prom, there’s plenty of choice nearby, including Walmer Castle and the nearby Deal battlements.

Its coastal location means you or your guests may want to use it as a base for foreign day trips. Both the port at Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone are only a short drive away.

You may be looking to enjoy a slower pace of life or you might be thinking more about a convenient home away from home.

The historic seaside location means it could also make an ideal investment to tap into the “UK Staycation” boom.

It’s less than 90 minutes from London. That's handy for you but also gives access to millions of potential guests looking for a convenient coastal getaway.

And don’t forget you would then have your very own seaside getaway at your disposal, whenever you fancy a quiet weekend away…

There’s no question that this is going to be a very popular property. You just need to work out how you’d like to use it.

Make sure you don’t miss out by calling to arrange a viewing.
