13 The Beach is a handsome double-fronted seaside home with commanding sea views from each level; the bright and spacious rooms, with large sash windows, are arranged across four floors. Located on The Beach, a sought after stretch of beachfront with a calm and serene feel to it, the property is wonderfully positioned beside the sea and beach green yet is only moments from the hustle and bustle of Deal. There is generous off-road parking at the rear and a sheltered walled garden to the front.

John Lewis Roget, the Thesaurus compiler, artist and art historian, lived at the house from 1877 to 1907; a blue plaque on the walled garden commemorates this famous connection.

The arched glazed front door provides a ‘door to the sea’ and leads on to a welcoming reception hall with a cast iron feature fireplace, a stairway rising to the first floor and steps down to a versatile multi-roomed accommodation below. The hall flows through to a useful rear utility area and cloakroom.

The charming sitting room and adjacent formal dining room both enjoy bay windows and fireplaces, whilst the stylish kitchen features bespoke cabinetry and a large range cooker.

The first floor houses a sleek shower room with a contemporary walk-in shower and two bright bedrooms, all with feature fireplaces. The 26 ft front-facing room, with its dual bay windows and impressive sea views, is currently being utilised as a spacious drawing room.

On the second floor are two further well-proportioned bedrooms, both with generous en suite bath/shower rooms and benefitting from bay windows with elevated coastal views.

Outside

The property enjoys a prime position on Walmer and Deal’s premier seafront road. The imposing frontage is approached via a wooden gate opening to the formal front garden, which is laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubbery and colourful planting and features a charming red brick pathway and steps up to the entrance.

13 The Beach also benefits from a private gated drive/parking area, as well as a peaceful courtyard garden. The space is brick-laid and ideal for al fresco dining or entertaining, with steps leading to a boiler room, a handy store and a bike shed.
