Brewer Street, Deal, Kent

Recently renovated, 1a Brewer Street is a characterful Grade II listed period property situated in the heart of the Conservation Area, just 500 ft from the pebbled seafront and a short distance from the station.

The dark green Victorian front door opens into a bright entrance hall, with a roomy cloakroom complete with a French enamel sink and barrel chrome taps. Bespoke wooden and glass doors made by a local craftsman lead through to the airy kitchen/sitting/dining room. Solid oak floorboards run throughout the ground and first floor, traditionally laid using hand-forged nails. The space has a combination of handmade sash and casement windows, which can be thrown open on warmer days, and allow the sun to stream through into the space which, in years gone by, was a Victorian theatre.

The bespoke solid wood kitchen is pared-back in style and painted in Farrow & Ball Pantalon, with thick oak work tops. There is a new electric AGA 60 coated in a vitreous enamel finish, and a large Butler sink with brass taps. Currently dressed with a long fruit wood table, the dining area is ample for 6 guests. There is a sofa and armchairs in a cosy corner, flanked with bespoke solid wood cupboards, perfectly hiding a television and little bar.

Stairs covered with Crucial Trading sisal rise to the first-floor landing, off which there are three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a sash window dressed in Liberty fabrics. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, complete with handmade tiles from Bert & May. The wood panelled family bathroom has a deep cast iron roll-top bath for long soaks, atop striking and traditional black and white encaustic tiles.

1a Brewer Street is in a tucked away setting, within striking distance of the town’s famous shingle beach and the pier.

Parking is available in designated car parks and bays along Beach Street, via a resident parking permit scheme. Full details of the scheme are available on the Dover District Council website.

There is a useful bin store which is accessed via an external door at the front of the property.

The property is situated close to Deal’s pier, which stretches for a quarter of a mile into the English Channel, and a beautiful stretch of pebble beach extending to Sandwich Bay in one direction and Kingsdown Cliffs in the other. The property is enviably situated close to the picturesque and quaint town centre which has an award-winning High Street with a good selection of independent boutique shopping, cafés, public houses and restaurants.

The neighbouring towns of Sandwich, Dover and Canterbury are easily accessed via the A2 and A258 and together provide a
comprehensive range of services. There is a good selection of schools in both state and independent sectors.

The area offers plentiful outdoor pursuits with lovely coastal cliff walks, fishing, sailing, water sports and trio of world class golf courses: Royal Cinque Ports, Princes and Royal St George’s (an Open Championship venue) Golf Clubs.

Deal station provides direct High Speed routes to London, whilst Dover Priory offers a journey time of just over an hour to London St Pancras. Access to the Continent is excellent via the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel.
