An opportunity to acquire a period property situated in the conservation area within the historic Cavalry Barracks with the rare benefit of a sunny south facing private walled garden and views across Walmer Green and the Downs Sailing Club to the Channel. 

A substantial semi-detached property forming part of the original barracks complex built to house troops during the Napoleonic wars. This particular building, together with its adjoining neighbour, is believed to have been constructed later in around 1870.

When the Royal Marines moved to Portsmouth in the 1980s the Deal barracks were decommissioned and converted into private housing. They are now much sought after for their classical architecture, attractive private estate style environment and their close proximity to the Strand, Deal town and sea. Number 19 has been the vendor’s home for over 20 years. During their ownership they have made a number of improvements including refurbishing the kitchen and bathrooms together with tweaking the configuration of the layout by adding glazed double doors between the living room and kitchen/breakfast room together with glazed doors from the living room opening into the walled garden. 

A spacious entrance hall with cloakroom off opens into a good sized kitchen/breakfast room this leads into a light and airy living room overlooking the walled garden.  On the first floor are a shower room and 3 double bedrooms       (no’s  1 and 2 have views over Walmer Green and the Downs Sailing Club to the Channel, No 1 has an an en-suite shower room). The walled garden is a particular feature of the property, private and sheltered with a sunny southerly aspect.  

Deal town has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town.  There are several local golf courses, Royal Cinque Ports at Deal, Walmer & Kingsdown golf club, Princess and Royal St Georges (venue of the British Open). Other leisure facilities include the obvious water related pastimes, local squash club and rowing club, tennis and croquet and sailing club at  Walmer. The busy Channel Port of Dover and the Tunnel at Folkestone are within easy reach offering the added benefit of regular access to the Continent. Fast Rail Link access to St Pancras, travelling from Walmer, will take just 82 minutes.
