An exceptional Edwardian home situated in an excellent location in arguably one of the most sought after roads in the village. The house was built in1906 for a clergyman.
The current owners have lived in the house since 1991 during which time they have kept the property well maintained and made a number of significant improvements including having the entire roof relayed using reclaimed Kent Peg tiles as per the original. They have much enjoyed their time at Pinewood House but have now reluctantly decided the time has come to down size.
Like many houses of the period the rooms are well proportioned with high ceilings and retain many of the original details such as moulded cornices and fireplaces. The staircase is a particular feature, constructed of pitch pine with decorative carving to the newel posts.
The accommodation comprises: Entrance porch, dining hall, study/music room and sitting room with doors opening into a sun room. With the exception of the dining hall all these principal rooms enjoy superb panoramic sea views. Off the hall is a cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is situated at the rear of the house together with a utility room and larder. On the first floor a large landing leads to 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, two of the bedrooms are interconnected with their own bathroom, this makes an ideal guest suite. The main bathroom was originally one of the seaward facing bedrooms. This could be reinstated as a bedroom and is large enough to accommodate its own en-suite. On the top floor is a large attic offering potential for further accommodation if needed.
The house is screened from the road by hedging with a Lytchgate opening to a brick path which winds its way to the front door. The gardens are attractively laid out in to different areas, lawns and an interesting variety of established plants, shrubs and specimen trees, paved seating areas and a topiary garden. There is parking/driveway area, detached double garage and a further gated parking space.
KINGSDOWN is a former fishing village of charm and character and offers a range of leisure activities. In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a Newsagent/Post Office, butcher, three Public Houses, the Church of St John’s and a Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted). Recreational activities include water sports and fishing along with Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Course. A further three champion golf courses are a short drive away including Royal St Georges in Sandwich (venue for the British Open). The historic coastal town of DEAL has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities including a Summer Festival of Music and the Arts yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town. DOVER, with its docks and cross Channel services, is seven miles away, offering fast access to the continent and fast Rail Link access to London St Pancras travelling from the nearest station at Walmer (1hour 15minutes).
