DESCRIPTION
An impressive 1st floor apartment enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views over the English channel from Pegwell Bay and the Goodwin Sands round to Deal Pier.

South Goodwins Court has an interesting history, most notably when it was one of Deal's landmark hotels. Known then as The Mayfair Court, the hotel's heyday was between the wars when it was a popular destination for golfers and those seeking the 'bracing sea air'. Boasting its own 'En Tous Cas' tennis court, Squash Court, Gymnasium and Billiard Room. Sadly only the Squash court survives and is now a private members club. The building is now divided into 12 apartments and arguably number 4 is one of the best. Located on the first floor with its own full width balcony and large well proportioned rooms, with high ceilings and original period features, most notably an impressive marble fireplace with bronze decorative mouldings, in what is currently the principal bedroom. This room together with the lounge/dining room both have bifold doors opening onto the balcony and enjoy superb uninterrupted channel views.

The current owner has made many improvements and sympathetic upgrades to the property, most notably a new kitchen and bathroom together with the heating system and replacement boiler. The accommodation comprises a large hallway with twin arches and decorative cornicing, lounge/dining room, principal bedroom, fully fitted kitchen, a second bedroom, box room/office and bathroom. The communal rear garden is mainly lawn with well stocked plant/shrub borders and pedestrian access onto Sandown Road, there is ample free on road parking for residents and visitors. The freehold of the building is owned and managed by the residents, with the annual maintenance charge covering building insurance, maintenance of the building structure, common areas and communal garden.
The location is perfect for access to Deal's Bohemian North End, with its beautiful conservation area, popular Saturday market, independent shops, arts events, and lots of places to eat.
The 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, (just a few minutes' drive away), Princes and Royal St Georges (venue of the British Open) at nearby Sandwich and also at Kingsdown. Other leisure facilities include the obvious water related pastimes, local squash club and rowing club both just 2 minutes' walk and tennis and croquet and sailing club at nearby 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 Deal, will take just 83 minutes.
