Cedar Mews, Deal, Kent

Immaculately finished, this smart, early 20th-century home unfolds across two storeys and has two beautifully bright bedrooms. It was recently renovated in a manner sensitive to its original design, using soft colours and high-quality materials to create a soothing, comfortable home. It has a private patio garden and is a short walk from Deal’s beautiful beach.



The Tour



Located in the Victoria Road and Wellington Road conservation area, the house is at once quiet and well-connected to the rest of the town. Entry is via a navy-blue front door to a hallway that establishes the gentle decorative scheme adopted throughout.



The living spaces are located on the ground floor; the Neptune kitchen, the modern heart of the home, is on the left, with doors that swing open to the private patio garden. Refined taupe-coloured kitchen cabinets are paired with a central island, smooth Silestone worktops and oiled engineered oak floors. Integrated appliances throughout are from Neff. Opposite, a large island doubles as a breakfast bar.



Next to the kitchen is a living room, grounded with sisal carpet. A high internal window borrows light from the bright kitchen. A door from here opens to a smart utility with access to the outside; there is also a pristine, traditionally styled WC adjacent.



Upstairs are two large bedrooms, both spacious enough to work as a principal. One has a wide bay window, while the other has twin sash windows and built-in storage. Both have en suites finished with Calacatta honed marble and Burlington fixtures.



The home was recently transformed, with new wiring, plumbing, heating and thermal upgrades, in addition to to a full roof restoration.



Outdoor Space



A garden paved with large limestone paving opens beyond the kitchen. It has plenty of room for outdoor dining, barbequing, and growing in potted plants. A planted flower bed runs along one side. Outdoor lighting allows the festivities to continue into the evening.
