For Sale6 Bedroom Detached House in Middle Deal Road, Deal, Kent Ct14 9rh£1,250,000

While the attractive and historic seaside town of Deal may have numerous Grade II listed properties, there are very few that can match the size and grandeur of Rosway Manor. Built at the very end of the 17th century it includes a charming coach house providing additional but separate accommodation and has wonderful features such as the original Queen Anne style oak staircase. While other period features include high ceilings, multi-pane sash windows and original shutters, panelled walls and doors, oak wood floors, exposed beams and delightful fireplaces that give it such a special character. At the same time it has been sympathetically updated to provide everything needed for modern day living with an excellent kitchen/breakfast room and contemporary bathrooms. This imposing residence is approached via a pair of tall wrought iron gates that lead to a gravel driveway where you can park three or four cars and leads to the coach house and the period front door. This opens into charming vestibule with Pugin style flooring, a cloakroom and a storage cupboard and through to the attractive hall with the impressive staircase that leads to the first and second floors. The hall provides direct access to the sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room as well as an archway with a pair of multi-pane glazed doors to a corridor and the rest of the ground floor accommodation. The elegant drawing room includes a plethora of original features as well as French doors to the garden and a brick fireplace with an open fire and a marble surround. While the large and equally delightful dining room also has a variety of period features including a cast iron open fire with a marble surround and where at least a dozen people can happily sit round a table for a formal dinner or for family celebrations. All the reception rooms are spacious including the 17ft square light and airy dual aspect sitting room with its original features, panelled walls, a built in cupboard, a door to the garden and a central ceiling rose. However there is a complete change of atmosphere when you open the door to the contemporary dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room. This includes a charming banquette seat under the window, a Rangemaster cooker and attractive charcoal grey shaker style units with granite worktops. These house a full height fridge, a full height freezer and a dishwasher as well as stand-alone appliances. There is also a central island/breakfast bar and a log burner flanked by built in cupboards. Steps lead down from the hall to the basement with two large storage rooms you can stand up in and a well-designed wine cellar where you can store all your favourite vintages. If required it could be possible for the store rooms to be developed to provide for offices and/or a bar/games room, subject to the necessary permissions. There is a large window on the wide staircase that provides plenty of natural light and leads to the first floor. Here you will find a spacious galleried landing, a cloakroom, a family bathroom with a marble surround bath and wall panelling and three very large double bedrooms that all have original panelled walls. These include a dual aspect double with a fitted cupboard, a bay window and a fireplace with a sculptured mantle and a tiled hearth and while another that has two large sash windows, dado rails and painted ceiling beams. The fabulous bright and light principal suite includes a built in cupboard, three large sash windows, exposed beams and a seating area as well as a stunning ensuite that has porcelain tiles, a contemporary stand-alone oval bath, a separate shower and built in shelving as well as a bespoke dressing table. The second floor galleried landing includes a fascinating beamed feature and the view down to the ground floor is impressive with its cascade of Art Deco lights created by the owners. The landing leads to a dual aspect double bedroom with a charming fireplace and a vaulted ceiling sitting room with original bult in cupboards and opens into two vaulted ceiling double bedrooms. This floor has space to create a shower room and is an ideal area for older children to have a bit of independence and where they can entertain their friends. Alternatively it would also provide space for a gym and make an excellent office/studio complex for anyone who runs a business from home and doesn’t want to be disturbed by activities in the rest of the house. Outside the coach house there is a private paved patio leading to the delightful, half glazed front door that opens into an attractive living room with an exposed central beam, a spiral staircase to the first floor and a door to a good sized inner hallway with a fascinating cupboard that has French wood doors. This provides access to a large single bedroom that is ideal for a pair of bunk beds, a modern family bathroom with a stand-alone bath and the fitted kitchen with an oven and hob, fridge and washing machine as well as a door to a small courtyard area. On the first floor there is a stunning double bedroom with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling. The coach house would be ideal for older family members or makes an excellent holiday let. Alternatively it could be used aa staff quarters. The easy-to-manage garden area surrounds the property and includes the original front door, pathways bordered by shrubs and trees as well as a gravelled area ideal for barbecues and a patio for relaxing in the sunshine.
