Attractive period detached property, built in 1897 and believed to have been commissioned for the proprietor of the East Kent Gazette.

Currently used as 2 large apartments over 3 floors although not currently self contained.

PLANNING PERMISSION has been granted to convert the property to 3 appartments.

At present, there are 6 Bedrooms although the property is extremely versatile, with all rooms housing a multitude of possible uses.

The house is located on a total plot size approximately 120' x 55', with colourful and extremely ornate stucco work to the front gables, and has many original features including 14' skirtings, original corniced ceilings, some original leaded light stained glass and decorative quarry tiling.

Reverting the house back to one grand residence would be fairly straightforward, just by the removal of the first floor kitchen.

Situated just a few hundred yards from Deal town centre, the property benefits from a Double Garage and multiple parking spaces provided by the side driveway.

Just a short distance away are good shopping facilities, the beach and pier.

Viewing is an absolute must to fully appreciate this property.
