6 bedroom detached house for sale

Wellington House is a very fine Grade II Listed Georgian property in the popular seaside town of Deal. With a classically elegant façade, the house has all the hallmarks of Georgian architecture, with shutters on the principal first floor windows and a delicate filigree entrance vestibule. The house has a lovely position facing an open area of parkland and trees.

A wide, light entrance hall greets the visitor. A door at the far end gives enticing glimpses into the garden beyond. To the left is the full length drawing room - spacious and bright – a wonderfully relaxing room. To the right is a second reception room (currently used as a craft room) and behind this is the study with fitted shelves and views over the rear garden. Set off the craft room is a ground floor bedroom with adjoining shower room.

Stairs descend from the hall to the lower ground floor, which forms the heart of the house with a very bright and generous kitchen with good ceiling heights. There are plenty of storage cupboards and a central island; this is the perfect place to socialise. Immediately adjoining is an informal dining area, with a window overlooking the courtyard garden and a raised wood-burner. A spiral staircase leads to the garden room. There are two further rooms at this level, one used a utility/flower room the other as storage.

The first floor comprises five bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite and one “Jack and Jill”).

Deal - a winner of the Daily Telegraph’s “High Street of the Year” award - has a busy and thriving town centre with a vibrant café culture regularly attracting London buyers; there are excellent educational facilities in both private and state sectors. Deal and nearby Sandwich are renowned for their famous “links” golf courses.

Sandwich, Dover and Canterbury are all easily accessed via the A2 and A258 and together deliver a comprehensive range of services. High Speed trains run from Deal to London St Pancras from around 82 minutes, and both Deal and Walmer stations provide connections to Ramsgate, Sandwich, Dover and London.

Access to the Continent is excellent via the Port of Dover

The current owner has created an absolute haven of tranquillity and calm in the walled garden to the rear. High brick walls on three sides give good levels of seclusion and privacy, and provide a perfect canvas on which to create a palette of climbing and flowering trees, shrubs and roses.

A large level lawn leads into a series of profusely planted “rooms”, each with its own individual design and character, creating a feeling of space and wonderment.

Stairs from the garden lead up to a raised verandah, giving lovely views over the garden. At the top end of the garden is a fully restored Victorian greenhouse. There is also a garage and adjoining log store.
