It may well only be a three-minute amble to Deals’ charming seafront, but this home rewrites the rule book on how a coastal home should seem - and we couldn’t love it more. Bold textiles and feature wallpapers fuse with period features and contemporary art to perfection, while Corian worktops, roll-top baths, and quality hotel-standard mattresses ramp up the luxury feel. There’s even a colossal bed from the Ritz Hotel in Paris – you didn’t expect that in a sleepy seaside town on the Kent coast, now did you? Spread out over three floors, with a stylish self-contained annex for two in the garden to spill out into, this home is begging for a large group of friends or family to come together. We’re particular fans of the dining room, which is worthy of many a glamourous dinner party – and your host knows the chef for the job to help take the reins. Meaning you can relax and make the most of that suntrap garden with sundowners, as kids and furry friends alike let off steam on the pristine lawns. Located right in the heart of vibrant Deal, the house is a short jaunt to the conservation area with its artisan shops, pubs, and cafés.
