North Barracks, Walmer, Deal, Kent, CT14

A wonderful, once in a generation opportunity to acquire one of only two original and historic Royal Marines officers' residences at the North Barracks; The Quartermaster's is a substantial Georgian family home dating back to circa 1795.

This imposing Grade II Listed home occupies a quiet and highly sought-after private cul-de-sac with no through traffic, offering elegant, versatile and exceptionally spacious accommodation throughout. Rich in period character, the property boasts an abundance of original features including high ceilings, sash windows and feature fireplaces, whilst a wide dry moat surrounding much of the property allows an exceptional amount of natural light to flood the lower level, creating bright and welcoming spaces rarely found in homes of this age and style. Large Georgian windows frame attractive views across the green opposite and further enhance the feeling of grandeur throughout.

The ground floor accommodation comprises two impressive reception rooms including a substantial living room with stunning 10.5ft ceiling heights, sash windows and a feature fireplace. The generous proportions of the room are such that it comfortably accommodates two armchairs, a double sofa and two triple sofas with ease, making it ideal for entertaining or family living. The formal dining room benefits from attractive panelling and provides an elegant setting for hosting guests.

The beautiful solid oak farmhouse-style kitchen offers additional space for informal dining and enjoys direct access to the private courtyard garden. A spacious and well-appointed utility room is accessed from the kitchen, whilst a large cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

An impressive staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor where you will find three exceptionally large double bedrooms, all benefitting from the impressive proportions expected of a Georgian home and serviced by the family bathroom.

The lower level provides fantastic additional and highly versatile accommodation, offering a fourth generous double bedroom alongside a family room and additional room which could equally serve as a home office, gym, studio or hobby room depending on individual requirements. Thanks to the property's unique design and wide dry moat, these rooms enjoy excellent natural light and avoid the dark or enclosed feel often associated with traditional lower ground accommodation. There is also an excellent amount of storage space beneath the stairs at this level.

Externally, the property benefits from two separate outdoor spaces, including a mature Georgian-style garden ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, alongside a private courtyard offering a peaceful and secluded retreat. The combined frontage of the property and gardens measures an impressive 66ft in width, further highlighting the scale and presence of this remarkable home.

Parking is exceptionally convenient with two allocated parking spaces located to the front of the property.

The property is situated within the prestigious North Barracks development, a quiet and highly desirable setting close to The Strand in Walmer, offering easy access to the pebble shoreline and less than a mile from Deal town centre with its eclectic mix of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. The ever-popular bandstand, Walmer Green and the weekly Parkrun are all within a three-minute walk. The Barracks date back to the early 1800s and were sympathetically converted for residential use in the late 1990s following the departure of the Royal Marines School of Music.
