Ripple Road, Ripple, Deal, Kent

This stunning family residence was only built in 1983 but has the hallmarks of a charming Regency property sitting in 0.9917 of an acre of gardens. It is only a mile from Walmer but surrounded by countryside. Automatic wrought iron gates open onto a vast block paved driveway leading to the double garage with automatic doors and the veranda style front entrance. A porch with parquet flooring and ornate coving that flows through much of the ground floor, leads to a stained glass door opening into a spacious reception hall with a coat cupboard and a cloakroom. Throughout the property there are Regency style features including high coved ceilings, dado rails, ceiling roses, panelled doors and full height windows.

The kitchen/breakfast room has tiled flooring, a range cooker and wood units with granite worktops housing appliances and an ornamental stove plus space for a table and chairs. Double doors open into the dual aspect family room that includes full height and bay windows. The superb dual aspect dining room has French doors onto the driveway and double doors to the elegant sitting room that features an impressive marble fireplace with a log burner and French doors to the veranda. There is a fitted utility room with access to the garden and a larder cupboard under the staircase. This leads to a half landing with an arched stained glass window and to the galleried landing. There is a contemporary family shower room and five double bedrooms with bespoke shutters and lovely views. These include a dual aspect with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite guest room with built in cupboards plus the impressive principal suite with built in wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bath/shower room.

The gardens feature an upper patio surrounded by colourful plantings and a lower balustraded terrace overlooking the koi carp pond with its rockery and waterfall. There is a greenhouse, a garden shed and a workshop at the rear of the double garage as well as lawns, shrub borders, trees and a gate to the woodland. The front garden includes a lawn, a patio with raised rose beds and hedging, and opens into a vast garden area surrounded by hedging and trees.

What the Owner says:

This has been a special family home for 27 year, we shall be sad to leave this property but we feel the time has now come for us downsize. We love the quiet and tranquil environment and having the adjacent woods and fields is ideal for taking the family dogs for a walk. Walmer includes local shops, church, eateries, the Downs Sailing Club, golf club and the beach while the mainline station with its high speed train can whisk you to London in an hour and 20 minutes.
Deal is close by with its shops, seafront, historic pier, restaurants, sports clubs and the Tides swimming pool complex. There are a number of good primary and prep schools in the area, while the surrounding towns offer excellent grammar and private school facilities.
