Rolls House, Kingsdown Hill, Deal, CT14 8EA

Detailed Description A distinguished Edwardian residence with a rich heritage, fine views, and thoughtfully modernised interiors - Rolls House offers a rare opportunity to own an elegant home in the picturesque village of Kingsdown.

Commissioned in 1909 by Henry Horn Patey and completed in 1910, Rolls House was later owned by a brewing family and reputedly hosted society figures such as Ian Fleming and Noel Coward.

Originally named Blencathra, it was renamed to reflect the local Rolls Royce heritage, the property has beautiful views overlooking the countryside and Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Course, designed by James Braid in 1909, and enjoys distant sea views from the principal suite.

In 2021, the house welcomed the world's number one golfer while he played in The Open at Royal St. George's.

________________________________________ The Property The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive renovation and sympathetic reconfiguration, creating thoughtfully designed family accommodation.

A wide, light-filled hallway leads to a dual aspect kitchen/living/dining room with two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the garden and an original arched bay window to the side.

The bespoke Neptune kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, light quartz worktops, and a tiled splashback, supported by a utility room housing a twin gas boiler (heating and pressurised hot water).

A generously proportioned dual aspect sitting room retains high ceilings, an open fireplace, ceiling rose, and picture rails. A separate study/family room and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.

________________________________________ First & Second Floors The first floor offers four double bedrooms - three with en suite shower rooms - and a spacious family bathroom.

The entire second floor forms the principal suite, comprising a large bedroom with bi-fold windows framing countryside, golf course, and distant sea views, together with a dressing room and a luxurious bathroom.

________________________________________ Outside A gravelled forecourt provides parking for several vehicles, supplemented by additional spaces on Kingsdown Hill.

To the rear, a driveway leads to a detached double garage with power and lighting. An EV charger is installed for charging electric vehicles.

A full-width composite deck descends to lawns bordered by mature trees and flower beds, while a timber garden room/studio - currently used as a bar - is equipped with electricity and lighting.

________________________________________ Situation Kingsdown Hill is a quiet lane leading to Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Club and down to Oldstairs Bay.
