Situation
The Rise is a centrally located street in the charming village of Kingsdown, just a short walk from the primary school, local amenities and the beach. Kingsdown is a sought-after village offering a variety of local amenities, including a post office, a high-end butcher, a convenience store, three local inns, and a respected local primary school.
To the east, the village is bordered by the English Channel, featuring an unspoiled pebble shoreline and a scenic two-mile cycle route and footpath leading to Deal. This fashionable coastal town boasts a picturesque seafront, an eclectic high street with several eateries, and a selection of unique independent and vintage shops. For commuters, Walmer train station offers regular coastal services and convenient connections to the Javelin high-speed service to London St Pancras.
The Property
The Old Cottage, dating in part from 1747 and thoughtfully combined with a later Victorian addition, offers a truly distinctive and charming period home. Beautifully presented and meticulously maintained by the current owner for over 30 years, the property blends historic character with comfortable modern living.
The welcoming entrance hall, complete with a practical ground floor cloakroom, leads into an attractive kitchen/dining room featuring a range of shaker-style cabinetry, a matching dresser, and solid wood worktops.
Steps descend to an impressive and generously proportioned sitting room rich in period character, where striking inglenook fireplaces anchor either end of the space and a former bread oven provides an additional historic feature. Enjoying a dual-aspect outlook, the room is filled with natural light and benefits from French doors opening directly onto the delightful cottage garden.
Further steps lead to a useful cellar and a separate utility/laundry room.
The first floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms served by a contemporary shower room, alongside an exceptional principal suite featuring a fireplace, vaulted ceiling, built-in wardrobes, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure.
