Beach View, 17 Ranelagh Road, Deal

Adjacent is an elegant drawing room featuring an original fireplace together with bespoke alcove cabinetry and shelving. This versatile room could equally serve as a guest bedroom and is conveniently positioned beside the cloakroom, which is beautifully appointed with Fired Earth floor tiles and a stained-glass window.

The lower ground floor provides exceptional entertaining space, comprising a bay-fronted dining room and a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room. Handmade solid wood cabinetry surrounds a Butler sink with antique brass mixer tap, all finished with luxurious marble worktops.

French doors open directly onto the courtyard garden, whilst the former scullery has been transformed into an impressive utility room with vaulted ceiling, bespoke full-height storage units, oak worktops, a second Butler sink, and ample space for laundry appliances.

The four bedrooms are arranged across the upper two floors and are served by both a beautifully finished bathroom and separate shower room, each recently installed with high-quality sanitary ware and fittings in keeping with the style of the home.
