The Old House, 7, Middle Street, Kent, CT14 7AG

A beautifully presented Grade II listed period house, just yards from Deal seafront, combining exceptional historic character with thoughtfully considered modern improvements, including a superbly appointed kitchen/dining extension and garden room, together with a secluded west facing walled garden.

The Old House is a wonderfully atmospheric Grade II listed period home occupying a highly desirable position on Middle Street, just moments from the seafront and within easy reach of the many independent shops, restaurants and amenities for which Deal has become so renowned.

Dating from the 17th Century and retaining an exceptional wealth of architectural character, the house has been sensitively updated to provide a highly comfortable and versatile home whilst preserving the qualities that make historic properties of this nature so appealing.

Exposed beams and brickwork, stripped timber floors, panelled walls, sash windows, shutters, period doors and fireplaces sit comfortably alongside contemporary improvements, creating a house with a distinctly individual character.

The current owners have further enhanced the property with a thoughtfully designed extension to the rear, transforming the kitchen into a particularly impressive kitchen/dining space.

Generous glazing brings an abundance of natural light into this part of the house, whilst the bespoke-style cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and considered detailing create a practical yet elegant setting for both everyday life and entertaining.

The dining area has a wonderful connection with the garden and provides a natural heart to the home.

A further successful addition by the current owners is a beautifully light garden room located off the sitting room.

With bifold doors offering direct views and access towards the garden, this versatile space provides an informal additional reception room and a lovely place from which to enjoy the changing seasons.

A well designed space for relaxing, working and entertaining. A useful and accessible wine store is accessed from this room also.

The original reception rooms to the front of the house provide a contrasting sense of intimacy and history.

The principal sitting room is centred around a handsome inglenook fireplace with exposed brickwork, substantial timber beam and woodburning stove, whilst the adjoining dining room retains an abundance of period detail and provides an elegant setting for more formal entertaining.

Across the first and second floors are four bedrooms or three bedrooms and a first-floor drawing room, offering considerable flexibility according to individual requirements.

The principal bedroom can be found on the first floor whilst the additional bedrooms occupy the upper floor and enjoys attractive proportions beneath the roofline, providing comfortable accommodation for family and guests.

A characterful family bathroom and separate shower room complete the upper floors.

Outside The rear garden is a remarkable feature of the property and provides a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity so close to the coast and town centre.

Enclosed by attractive historic walls and richly planted with mature shrubs, trees and climbing plants, the garden has been arranged as a series of inviting spaces.

An elevated and secluded roof terrace above the garden room offers a sheltered nook, before descending to the principal garden where lawns, paved seating areas, raised beds and established planting create a wonderfully relaxed setting.

There is also the considerable benefit of pedestrian rear access to South Court. ///what3words shark.glitz.exams For full details, please download our property web brochure document.
