Property description & features
Situation
Waterfront is a gem nestled in arguably one of the finest locations in the area, adjoining Walmer Castle. A leisurely stroll leads to the enchanting seafront, while a brief car ride whisks you to the charming village shops of Upper Walmer and The Strand, catering to every daily necessity. Just beyond lies the bustling hub of Deal town centre, a tapestry of both local boutiques and popular high street retailers, interspersed with an array of eateries, inviting inns, and cafes. The Middle Street Conservation Area adds a fascinating layer of architectural heritage to the landscape. To the west unfurls the historic Cinque Port town of Sandwich, while to the south, the bustling harbour town of Dover beckons with its gateway to the continent. Rail services, including the high-speed connection to London's St Pancras, are easily accessible from both Walmer and Deal. For the avid sports enthusiast, Walmer Tennis Club and Downs Sailing Club stand in close proximity. Meanwhile, walkers and cyclists are treated to a scenic seven-mile coastal expanse, from Walmer to Sandown, meandering through the undulating sand dunes to the serene haven of Sandwich Bay. Golfers are spoilt for choice, with a superb selection of courses, crowned by the illustrious Royal St. Georges.
The Property
Introducing Waterfront, an enchanting coastal residence that exudes the timeless elegance of the Edwardian era. Its façade boasts graceful symmetry, complemented by a welcoming front porch and a timber balcony that enhance its allure. Originally known as "Winthorpe" and dating back to circa.1909, this property played a role in caring for convalescent soldiers from World War I. It evolved over time, transitioning from a nursing home into a private family home, as well as a hotel and back to a family home, and from 1996, the hub of a therapeutic community, providing a sanctuary for workshops and counselling sessions. Today, Waterfront stands as a living testament to its rich history, seamlessly blending period charm with modern comforts in a truly magical setting. The interior layout is unique, featuring three reception rooms on the ground floor, while at the rear, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate cloakroom sit adjacent to the side entrance. The inverted layout places the living spaces on the first floor, offering sweeping sea views and access to the spacious balcony. The top floor exudes the ambiance of a separate dwelling, with a bedroom and a central fireplace dividing into a cosy seating area and lounge. The rear showcases a generously sized luxurious bathroom.
