Situation
Number 23 is set centrally on The Strand in Lower Walmer, overlooking the widest part of Walmer Green and its pebble beach. Properties along The Strand form an attractive and undulating roof line, offering an eclectic mix of shops, eateries and residential homes. A well used promenade and parallel cycle path follow the shoreline providing a pleasant route into the seaside town of Deal, less than half a mile away. Deal has a rich history, wide range of amenities, award winning high street, weekly market and thriving arts scene. There are plenty of opportunities locally for outdoor pursuits and in particular, Walmer has its own sailing club and a lawn tennis and bowling club. The Strand is on a comprehensive bus route and the mainline railway station provides a regular service inclusive of the Javelin link to London St Pancras.

The Property
The Boatman s Reading Rooms, established in 1873 by Caroline Wollaston of the esteemed Wollaston Family of Walmer, derived its name from its dual purpose providing a haven for working men and serving as a recuperative space for rescued seaman. Nestled in a picturesque spot across from Walmer Green it now exudes timeless elegance with its facade and vistas of the pebble beach and sea beyond. This splendid abode has undergone a recent metamorphosis into a coastal haven of impeccable taste mirroring its maritime surroundings. Spanning three floors the residence offers a versatile layout with the main living spaces graced by unobstructed sea panoramas. This reimagined space cleverly maximises functionality and aesthetics. Two points of entry lead to ground floor bedrooms, each offering a vista of the sea. A well appointed shower room WC compliments these quarters while a convenient utility room grants access to the outdoor expanse. The principal bedroom suite below boasts a designated seating area and open concept free standing bath. Ascending to the upper level one is greeted by a sitting room designed to capture the panorama spectacle along with a fourth bedroom. At the rear the open plan kitchen diner adorned with Corian countertops and a contemporary flair is bathed in natural light from dual prospects and boasts double glazed doors that unveil a splendid rooftop terrace."
