Kingsdown, Deal, Kent

Step inside Plen

Sited in an elevated position with far reaching sea views in the village of Kingsdown, this imposing black and white extended detached property has been beautifully refurbished and is just ready for a new family to enjoy. It is believed to have originally been built in 1928 and with the Tudor style exterior certainly provides great kerb appeal the moment you see it. The house is set back off the road and includes a double garage with automatic doors and off road parking for three cars. It is approached via a pathway flanked by lavender, flower borders and lawns with steps up to the front porch with a contemporary stained glass front door.

This opens into the spacious entrance hall with Lalegano Italian oak engineered flooring, a walkin cupboard and under-stairs storage. The large light lounge/diner has an attractive bay casement window as well as a picture window through to the good sized utility room. Coastal light is an integral element of the house and can be enjoyed throughout. There is a delightful garden room with mineral slate floor tiles and a wall of windows providing lovely views over the garden that is accessed from the charming sitting room, where you can curl up with a good book or watch a film. Alternatively this room could be used as a formal dining room as it has a hatch through to the kitchen, or a fifth bedroom as this floor also includes a wet room style shower by the utility room.

The stunning contemporary kitchen with a breakfast bar has stylish cashmere units made by Howdens with curved end units. The worktops are a hard wearing composite. It includes a Rangemaster range cooker and a stand-alone fridge, while the rest of the appliances and a walkin larder are in the adjacent utility room. This has a large skylight providing additional natural light and a door to the garden. The flooring is Karndean.

On the open galleried landing there is a large airing cupboard and access to the loft that has lighting and is partially boarded. There are four bedrooms including a single that is currently set out as an office with shelving and a fitted cupboard. The dual aspect main bedroom has an attractive central brass chandelier, plenty of built in bedroom furniture including drawers, dressing table, wardrobes and shelving as well as an en-suite bathroom, with a bath and separate shower. There is also an attractive family bathroom with bamboo flooring.

The secluded, south facing and secure rear garden is a delight and includes an Indian sandstone terrace with a beautiful wood framed loggia where you can sit and enjoy an al fresco meal with friends and family. The rear of the garden has a row of high fir trees which provides seclusion; there is a large lawn, flower and shrub borders, raised vegetable beds and a summer house with veranda and seating area and a tool shed. Tucked away in the wild area of the garden is a mature hawthorn tree offering privacy and shade. Towards the garage is a large greenhouse with a 2000 litre rainwater store facility. There is rear door access to the garage and workshop area. The property is also eco-friendly with solar panels and a water softener

Seller Insight

We moved to Kingsdown 10 years ago for a lifestyle change, and a chance to experience life at the coast and it has been delightful. During our time here we have thoroughly enjoyed refurbishing the house and garden, but now it is time for us to downsize as we have recently retired.

We always loved the spacious feel of the house and garden as we have had plenty of space for entertaining.

It has been great to be able to work from home with high speed fibre broadband available and the ‘fast’ train to London from Walmer station.*
