About
An elegant double fronted Georgian property, offering spacious and versatile accommodation.
A most impressive double-fronted Georgian house of considerable character, Merwald House occupies a discreet position on Walmer Castle Road, within easy reach of Walmer Castle and the seafront.
The house sits within an area steeped in history, notably adjoining Wellesley House, once associated with the Duke of Wellington.
Internally, the house offers well-balanced accommodation extending to over 3,500 sq ft, with elegant proportions, high ceilings and a wealth of retained period detail throughout.
Approached via wrought iron gates and a gated vestibule, steps rise to an impressive front door.
The entrance hall, with its original patterned tiled floor, sets the tone and leads to two principal reception rooms.
The drawing room and sitting room lay to either side of the hall, both featuring large sash windows, marble fireplaces and excellent ceiling height, providing formal and informal living spaces.
Beyond, glazed doors open to the inner hall and a generous dining room, ideal for entertaining.
To the rear, the impressive kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, centred around an Aga and a wooden-topped peninsula, with ample space for everyday dining.
This leads through to a charming garden room, enjoying views over the garden and providing a natural connection to the outside.
A sheltered courtyard sits just beyond, offering a private spot for outdoor dining. A useful cloakroom completes the ground floor.
The lower ground floor provides a substantial cellar, including a dedicated wine store, along with useful utility and storage space.
On the first floor, four double bedrooms are arranged around a spacious landing.
The principal bedroom, positioned to the rear, is served by an en-suite bathroom, with a further en-suite bedroom to the front which has been recently improved.
The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a family shower room, located off the main landing.
The second floor offers a further bedroom, together with a versatile additional reception space, which could serve as a sixth bedroom or sitting room.
Outside Behind the kitchen/breakfast room is an attractive courtyard with a southerly aspect, an enclosed rendered wall and wrought iron gate from the main garden.
The generous mature garden is planted with specimen plants, flowering bushes and trees, and to the rear an assortment of fruit trees including apple and plum.
There is a small timber summerhouse and vegetable garden to rear, with disused walkway to the rear boundary and small potting shed.
The garden is further secluded and screened with high brick walls to boundary. A garage is located opposite the property.
