Living in this house since 1984 has been the best location for our family and way of life, hence we have stayed so long!
We have had countless family and friends' gatherings and parties over many years inside and outside.
The convertible living room is a stunning entertainment space; the ultimate Christmas room, where our large family and friends came every year without exception.
The apartment below was used by my parents for many years enabling me to care for them.
The garden is a very large space, unusual this close to town and we have developed many areas of it. There is a vegetable plot, pebble courtyard, lawn patio areas and a pagoda walk. We have enjoyed having a large entertainment space, with a substantial outbuilding, used by us as a judo dojo and bar. We have added a pizza oven, sauna and jacuzzi as we have spent many long, pleasant summer evenings outdoors.
The fact we were immediately on a road has been a bonus for us, as we could speedily travel to Dover, the continent and London; walking to anywhere in Deal and the beach is also quick and convenient.
We are now just two as our family have grown but will be staying close for our next move.
