Situation
Nestled between Kingsdown and Walmer, this property enjoys an enviable location just a stone's throw from the beach and a short distance from the historic Walmer Castle. The picturesque village of Kingsdown, with its charming local stores, three inviting inns, and a highly regarded primary school, is just moments away.
To the north lies the vibrant seaside town of Deal, famous for its award-winning high street, where you’ll find unique shops, cosy restaurants, and quaint cafés. Deal’s scenic seafront, historic Grade II listed pier, and striking Tudor Castle add to its rich period charm, while a lively arts scene and close-knit community enhance its appeal. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the two-mile promenade, perfect for leisurely walks and cycling along the coast.
Walmer mainline station, a mere five-minute drive, provides regular services to London St Pancras, including high-speed Javelin links, making this the ideal home for commuters seeking a tranquil coastal retreat.

The Property
In 2007 The Boat House was thoughtfully reimagined and transformed into a charming detached home while preserving its elegant Edwardian facade. The striking exterior features colour-washed elevations with scalloped tiling beneath a pitched, interlocking tiled roof, complete with a distinctive cupola and decorative ridge tiling. The current owner has made further enhancements, including a new porch and detached garage added in 2011, and a ground floor extension in 2016, which now includes a versatile study or third bedroom. Inside, the home boasts an inviting open-plan kitchen/living room with windows on three sides, filling the space with natural light. A Contura wood burner adds warmth and character, while oak flooring flows seamlessly into the kitchen area. The kitchen itself is beautifully designed, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, solid oak work surfaces, and integrated appliances, all cleverly divided by a return worktop. Ledge and brace doors add a traditional touch, leading to a well-appointed shower room and cloakroom with a Jack & Jill layout, offering separate access to the study/bedroom for convenient ground-floor living if desired.

Bi-fold wooden doors open onto the dining room, a bright and airy space with a vaulted ceiling and sliding glazed patio doors that connect back to the sitting room. An attractive turning staircase leads to a galleried landing, illuminated by inset lighting, with doors to two generously sized double bedrooms, both offering ample eaves storage. The stylish family bathroom is situated between the bedrooms and features a matching white suite, creative inset uplighters, and a charming porthole window that adds a touch of nautical elegance.
