North Barracks, Walmer, Deal, Kent, CT14

Built around 1800, this property at the entrance to the North Barracks still retains characterful features including double-glazed multi-pane sash windows, an attractive paved front veranda and a period front door. This opens directly into the dual aspect lounge with oak flooring and a staircase to the first floor. There is also an arched side window, a tall wine display cabinet and a modern raised log burner.

The double height, vaulted ceiling kitchen/diner is awe-inspiring. It includes high Velux windows, shaker style units with oak and stainless steel worktops housing built in and stand-alone appliances, an oak-topped breakfast bar and space for a dining table and chairs. This is partially open plan to the orangery with tiled flooring and impressive full height windows and doors opening onto the courtyard style garden, and a useful storage cupboard. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with sliding door wardrobes, a contemporary family wet room and a utility room.

The recently installed staircase leads to two double bedrooms with antique pine flooring and high vaulted ceilings with cross beams. One includes an en suite wet room style shower room and the other is dual aspect with views to the sea, a feature brick wall and an electric log burner style fire. Currently this room is used as a study/music room but has a pull-down kingsize bed and a built in cupboard.

There are designated car parking spaces with a gate to the charming walled courtyard garden with shrub borders.

There is also the option to purchase the Grade II Listed Old Post Room on the opposite side of the entrance to the barracks. It includes a living room/kitchen, a large double bedroom and an en suite shower room as well as a garage.

What the Owner says:

We moved here five years ago and refurbished the property from top to bottom, with new wiring and new plumbing as well as installing the staircase and creating the orangery. We were also able to purchase the Old Post Office and have used it for holiday lets, which produces around £22,000 gross annual income.
The property is in a wonderful location, only a short distance from the seafront and useful local shops, and Walmer Green where regular events are held. We can walk into Deal town centre in about 10 minutes and enjoy the wonderful shops, restaurants, seafront and famous pier as well as the Saturday market. Walmer Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club is a 5 minute walk and Tides swimming pool complex is not far away.”
The fast train from Walmer can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half and excellent educational facilities are available in the vicinity. These include the nearby Deal Parochial and The Downs primary schools, Goodwin Academy and first class grammar and private schools in Dover, Sandwich and Canterbury. For golfing enthusiasts there are numerous golf courses available, while other sports include rugby and bowls.
