For Sale6 Bedroom House in Dover Road, Walmer, Deal, Kent Ct14 7ht£1,000,000

This beautiful four storey Victorian townhouse has been sensitively and caringly renovated and refurbished from top to bottom, but the owners have retained, recreated or replaced all the original Victorian features to bring it back to its former glory. So it now offers everything that you might want in a 21st century property but with the character of an elegant bygone era. It also includes a separate lower ground floor apartment with an independent entrance, a garage, carport, workshop and off road parking for up to four cars at the end of the large rear garden, accessed via a private lane, adjacent to the property. The exterior of the townhouse is very impressive with its high chimneystack, bay and arched sash windows and steps up to the vestibule with original tiled flooring and a stunning stained glass front door. While internally the period features include high coved ceilings, dado and picture rails, high skirtings, beautiful ceiling roses, Victorian style radiators, panelled doors and fireplaces. All these features are well represented in the superb drawing room that also includes reclaimed Victorian floorboards, a bay window with views over the delightful rear garden, half height lincrusta wall panels and a cast iron fireplace with a marble surround and a coal effect gas fire. However the chimney exists so you could have an open fire. Next door is the equally elegant dining room with an original cast iron Victorian fireplace that has inset tiling and a marble surround flanked by CD shelving as well as a large and charming bay with arched sash windows. The contemporary kitchen includes Karndean flooring with underfloor heating and flat fronted units with granite worktops and internal lighting that house an induction hob, built in oven and combi microwave, an American fridge freezer and a dishwasher. There is also a larder and access to the charming breakfast room via a systems control cupboard and adjacent original staircase. This leads to a trendy shower room on the half landing with a vanity basin and fascinating tiles, while off the galleried landing there is a laundry cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. This floor includes the tiled family bathroom with doors to the discreetly hidden built in bath and two double bedrooms. One has reclaimed Victorian flooring, a wall of fitted cupboards, a walk in cupboard and a bay window while the other features a walk in cupboard and fitted shelving. An open archway from the landing leads to stairs to the second floor where you will find a storage cupboard and another two bedrooms with partially vaulted ceilings and half height wall panelling. One has a fitted cupboard and a cast iron fireplace and the other is currently designed as an office with fitted cupboards, built in bookcases and far reaching views. The main entrance to the separate apartment opens into the hallway with Karndean flooring, a large boiler room, storage facilities and an understairs laundry cupboard with a washing machine. There is a smart bathroom with a bath and separate shower, a large double bedroom with an acoustic glazed bay window and views to the front garden as well as a single bedroom with a fitted cupboard. The contemporary kitchen includes flat fronted cream units housing an oven and hob, a dishwasher and a fridge while the delightful lounge has a cast iron fireplace, inset ceiling lights and a glazed door to the rear garden. The main access to the spacious garden is from a rear lobby in the hall of the main house. This leads down steps to the charming herringbone style south facing terrace where you can enjoy outdoor entertaining or relax in the sunshine. It is bordered by large and attractive shrub and rose beds with a pathway flanked by a spacious lawn and shrub beds.
