Nautical Blue

Tucked on a quiet side street just off the main promenade in Deal, this charming home has a cosy cottage feel while boasting an unbeatable location. The living room is the heart of the house, with its rustic brickwork hearth and a wood-burning stove to spend cosy nights curled up next to. The wooden dining area leads through to the kitchen, and out into an enclosed garden. Here you’ll find a table for alfresco dining in the summer months and a deck chair where you can soak up the sunshine on balmy spring evenings.

The bedrooms, meanwhile, have characterful nautical touches that echo the neighbouring sea, while the family bathroom is a luxurious space with its rainfall shower and gorgeous freestanding tub – the ideal way to unwind in the evening (a glass of bubbly in hand) after an exciting day by the coast.

Speaking of venturing out, Deal Seafront and Pier are a stone's throw away, while the nearby High Street invites you to explore its independent boutiques and quirky shops, before stopping in at a local deli or cafe for a bite to eat. Deal Castle is also a short stroll away – built in the shape of a Tudor Rose it's well worth a visit for its rich history and sea views.
