Hawkshill Farmhouse sits in a peaceful, tucked away location on Hawkshill Down. Approached over a private road the house forms part of a small collection of characterful dwellings in what is arguably the “best kept secret” location in Walmer and Deal.

The vendors have completed a full programme of modernisation and upgrading to present a home with stylish interiors and light and airy accommodation. With engineered oak floor extending across much of the ground floor, there is a sense of harmony linking the reception areas.

The sitting room overlooks the rear garden and provides a comfortable setting for relaxed sitting beside a feature fireplace with decorative tiling. The generous dining room and adjoining snug sit next to the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, where a vaulted ceiling with skylights and glazed double doors allow natural light to flood the room.

The kitchen is fitted with modern units, featuring curved cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink and space for a range stove; there is also an island unit and an area for relaxed dining. After a hike across the fields or the beach, outdoor wear can be cast off in the boot room, conveniently positioned beside the very generous utility room, which incorporates a “dog shower”. With its separate access and the adjoining cloakroom, this space could easily convert into a one room studio annexe, if desired and subject to any necessary consents.

A large bay with three windows, creates a light-filled study on the ground floor, with the space mirrored on the floor above, where the principal bedroom is situated, with its adjacent dressing room/bedroom leading through to a shower room. There are two further bedrooms at this level and a family bathroom, which features a free-standing roll-top bath tub and shower cubicle. On the second floor is a further bedroom and a shower room.

This property has 0.7 acres of land.

Outside

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway, which provides parking, with lawns to front and rear and mature trees and shrubs to the boundaries.

A pathway leads to the side and rear of the garden, where a paved terrace offers opportunities for outdoor dining with an outlook to the wildflower garden, with a further gravelled and paved courtyard area being enclosed by trellising.

At the far end of the garden is a substantial and useful outbuilding, ideal for storage etc.

Situation

Walmer offers a superb range of shops and amenities and there are several well-regarded state and independent schools. There is a beautiful pebble beachfront and, for walking and cycling enthusiasts, a flat 7-mile coastal stretch to follow from Walmer to Sandown and across the dunes to Sandwich. Walmer Castle and its award winning gardens are close by. Nearby golf courses include the historic Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, host to The Open Championship 2021

Neighbouring Deal, former winner of the Daily Telegraph's "High Street of the Year" award, offers a further array of amenities.

Stations in Walmer and Deal provide direct High Speed train services to London St Pancras and Ashford International, with local connections to Charing Cross, Margate, Ramsgate, Sandwich and Canterbury. The area has good access to the Continent.
