"A magnificent late Georgian townhouse, with splendid period features and substantial accommodation spread over four floors, situated within the conservation area in the heart of Deal. The property has undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation in recent years, with the restoration of many period features, alongside the addition of many modern, yet sympathetic improvements. These include the addition of double glazed conservation sash windows throughout, two luxuriously appointed bathrooms, a new boiler and central heating system and the creation of a spectacular open plan kitchen dining family room, garden room and wine cellar on the lower ground floor. This host of sensitive enhancements culminate in a pleasing blend of traditional character alongside modern convenience and quality of finish.

The rear garden measures approximately 35 ft max and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create several different areas. There is a gravelled seating area immediately adjacent to the house, beneath a passion fruit draped pergola.

SITUATION

Blenheim Road is conveniently located just a short walk from both the beach and the town centre and within the conservation area in the bustling town of Deal.

Deal is a popular seaside town which lies eight miles north east of Dover and eight miles south of Ramsgate. It is a former fishing, mining and garrison town. Close to Deal is Walmer, steeped in history, and a possible location for Julius Caesar s first arrival in Britain.

Deal became a limb port of the Cinque Ports in 1278, and grew into the busiest port in England; today it is a seaside resort and its quaint streets and houses are a reminder of its history along with many ancient buildings and monuments. In 1968, Middle Street was the first Conservation Area in Kent. The coast of France is approximately twenty five miles from the town and is visible on clear days. The impressive Tudor castle was commissioned by King Henry VIII and has an unusual rose shaped floor plan.

There is also a non League football club, Deal Town FC, which plays at The Charles Sports Ground and a rugby club, Deal & Betteshanger Lions, who play at the old RM Drill Field off Canada Road.

There is a farmers market on Wednesdays, which sells local produce, as well as a well established market on Saturdays. The town has a strong independent retail sector along with a number of more widely known shops in the town centre. The popular Astor Theatre in Deal offers musical performances, live theatre, exhibitions, movies, classes and clubs.
