Situation
Victoria Road, steeped in history, once demarcated the boundary of the illustrious Naval Yard, separating it from the vibrant seafront. Originally, an enclave of high-class residences for the affluent residents of the town, it underwent a significant transformation after the naval yard's closure in 1863. This evolution heralded the birth of Victoria Town, marking the inception of Deal's first large-scale Victorian development. Today, this area is an integral part of the esteemed Conservation area of Deal. Nestled within this historic backdrop, Deal flourishes as a bustling seaside town, offering an array of amenities within easy reach. A leisurely stroll brings one to the quaint historic quarter, picturesque seafront, and the convenient train station boasting high-speed links to London St Pancras. Delightful eateries, charming cafes, independent boutiques, and vintage shops dot the streets, alongside a thriving community theatre and a vibrant weekly market, all contributing to the distinctive allure of this coastal gem.
The Property
Set within the sought-after Deal conservation area, this distinctive Victorian townhouse spans five elegant floors, offering versatile and light-filled living. Period charm abounds, with high ceilings, tall sash windows, and generously proportioned rooms throughout. The home is entered via a tiled approach and recessed porch into a wide hallway, leading to a front sitting room with a striking bay window and a rear dining room opening onto a decked garden; both featuring character fireplaces. The kitchen offers fitted base units, integrated appliances, and original stripped wood storage. The lower ground floor reflects the ground level with two spacious rooms; currently an artists studio and gym, plus a study and storage area, utility room, cloakroom and independent rear access. This level is ideal for a self-contained annexe, with its own heating system and space for a kitchen area. The mezzanine hosts a well-appointed bathroom, separate cloakroom, and access to the first floor, featuring a large double bedroom and a refined and generous drawing room with charming views. The upper floors offer two larger bedrooms with elevated views across Deal’s rooftops, a further bedroom, currently a music studio, and a stylish shower/dressing room.
Outside
The rear garden is a standout feature, enjoying an east-facing aspect and a sense of privacy, enclosed by high brick walls. A decked terrace, accessed from the dining room, offers a perfect seating area and steps down to a lawned garden. At the far end, rear pedestrian access leads to two off-road parking spaces via Clanwilliam Road.
