Detailed Description

A classic period, detached home, standing in lovely grounds in the heart of the seaside village of Walmer. Tucked away from passing traffic yet, only a minute away from a parade of busy local shops, including pub, restaurant and bus service.

This delightful property offers accommodation which includes on the ground floor a welcoming bright entrance hallway, leading to an impressive living room measuring 23'3 x 15'6 having three double glazed windows overlooking the sunny garden, which is south/southwest facing. This in turn leads to a study/sitting room which measures 15'11 x 13'0 and connect with folding doors to a glorious conservatory which also overlooks the front gardens. The ground floor accommodation further includes the kitchen, shower room, and a double glazed luminous conservatory. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, all facing the front garden.

'The Old Coach House' stands in lovely well stocked gardens, approached via a long driveway, with double opening gates. Included within the sale is a detached annexe, comprising a living room with kitchen area, bedroom and shower room. The colourful and interesting grounds also include a summer house and garden store. Walmer has a fine unspoilt coastline and the historic Walmer Castle, which is part of the medieval 'Cinque Ports, ' with two impressive Tudor Castles, going back to Henry VIII, and is closely linked with the neighbouring town of Deal, which has an excellent range of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, weekly markets and wonderful architecture and a quarter mile long pier affording views of the historic seafront. Furthermore, Deal came the first in the Daily Telegraph's 10 top spots to lay your beach towel and was praised for being 'the genuine Georgian article'. Just minutes walk away from the house is Walmer Castle and 'the wild sea front walk and cycle path' which take you to the village of Kingsdown and the 'Cliff's walk' leading to St. Margaret's bay. Walmer is well connected by all the amenities you could wish for, including nurseries, schools and colleges. The Cathedral City of Canterbury with its famous Cathedral, High Street, two universities and shopping centre is only 17 miles distant. The busy port of Dover with its regular crossing to Calais and the Channel Tunnel are both an easy distance from Walmer. The area offers plentiful outdoor activities with coastal cliff walks, fishing, sailing, swimming, cycling and golf. If golf is your preferred leisurely sport, there are two golf courses in the vicinity and Sandwich offers two world class golf courses, Royal St George's and Prince's. 'The Old Coach House' has a Kentish charm all of its own; it must be seen to be fully appreciated.
