This wonderful five-bedroom Georgian townhouse sits right on Deal's seafront, in the heart of the old town. Built in 1730, the house unfolds across four stories of beautifully executed living spaces, spanning some 3,036 sq ft. Unusually for the area, the house has a lovely large L-shaped garden, parts of which trap the sun all day. Close to the town centre, the house lies within the conservation area (the first designated in the whole of Kent) and is Grade II listed for its historical importance. Deal is a charming seaside town on the Kent Coast, with quick access to London and the rest of the UK.Setting the SceneBeach Street is perfectly positioned parallel to the stretch of the coastline in Deal. Located at the quieter end, it has exceptional sea views and direct access to the tranquil beach.With a charming appearance from street level, the wonderfully symmetrical house has been finished with stucco on the ground floor and vernacular yellow brick from the first floor upwards. The façade is punctuated by a classical pediment that sits above the original Georgian door. For more information, please see the History section below.The Grand TourThe front door opens to an elegantly proportioned hallway, finished in 'Flint and Linen Wash' by Little Greene. Next door sits a large dining room, flooded with light from two classical sash windows; original cornicing and an impressive open fireplace from the early 19th century are offset by walls finished in Under the Eaves by Valspar. Original oak floorboards have been stripped, adding character to the room. Behind the dining room is a charming reading room, finished in a sunny and cheerful yellow, this is a cosy spot to curl up with a good book. The large rear hall is a striking space and has a staircase leading to the lower-ground floor and a useful guest WC with a shower.At the rear of the plan is the good-sized kitchen. This exceptionally bright space is lit by dual-aspect windows overlooking the garden and two large skylights. The carefully considered room has been finished in 'Oxford Stone' by Farrow and Ball, complemented by blue painted cabinetry and a useful island with Corian worktops. With a layout perfect for entertaining, the kitchen has a large island and separate space for dining; there is also a pantry and an external utility room.Ascending to the first floor, an expansive drawing room with sweeping views of the sea dominates the front of the plan. Finished in Linen Wash by Little Greene, the calming space has stripped wooden flooring, and light pours in through two large sash windows. A late 19th-century marble fireplace sits in the corner of the room adding character, and a wonderful etched window casts light into the adjacent corridor. A rear-facing bedroom is finished in the moody yet restful 'Livid' by Little Greene. Next door is a large family bathroom, finished in bead and butt panelling painted in 'Dimpse' and 'Stiffkey Blue' both by Farrow and Ball, a nod to it's coastal position. Both of these rooms have lovely views overlooking the quiet garden.A flight of stairs leads to the top floor of the house, with the lovely primary bedroom and another large bedroom adjacent. On a clear morning, the sunrise bathes the rooms in light and both have spectacular views over the beach. A secondary staircase leads from the first floor to a standalone bedroom, which feels secluded due to the fact it is tucked at the top of the house. The room cleverly utlises the eaves for storage.The lower-ground floor is home to a further large guest bedroom. Sitting in what was originally the kitchen, it has a beautiful early Victorian stove and is lit by a garden-facing window. Adjacent is a large games room; both spaces have multiple built-in storage units.The Great OutdoorsA door from the kitchen diner leads to the large rear garden, where you can hear the waves crashing against the shore. A calming spot, the pretty terraced patio is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining, while a lawn is bordered by fragrant honeysuckle, clematis, japonica, climbing flowers and roses to name a few. A useful potting shed sits next to a wood store, and the garden is enclosed by the walls of neighbouring houses, creating privacy.Out and AboutBeach Street sits directly on the waterfront, within walking distance from the town's high street.

A grand and imposing detached Georgian residence, steeped in Naval heritage and military tradition, commanding a prime coastal position with sea views. The property is set within 0.31 acres of grounds which include secluded walled gardens, secure gated parking for 4-6 cars and is ideally situated within easy reach of Deal’s bustling town centre and beaches.Napier House is a Royal Building, which was designed by Naval Architect and Surveyor Edward Holl in 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars as part of the new Naval hospital. Formerly 2 separate dwellings, 3 and 4 Royal Buildings served as accommodation for the Governor and the Senior Physician. Then later, once the Naval hospital was taken over by the Royal Marines, it served as accommodation for senior officers, until such time as the Colonel Commandant took both houses as his main residence and combined them into one magnificent dwelling. However, the property offer great potential for the original layout to be reinstated and the property to be re-divided into two separate dwellings, once again.Consequently, every inch of this prestigious home is steeped in history, with hrh Prince Phillip, The Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill all rumoured to have spent time at the property during its illustrious past. Furthermore, the main bedroom suite was originally set aside for the exclusive use of hrh The Queen Mother, who often spent time at nearby Walmer Castle, should she wish to use it.During the 1990’s, the property passed from the ownership of the Royal Marines into private hands, where it has remained as a truly landmark private residence ever since. The current owners of Napier House have resided there since 2006 and during that time, they have embarked upon a fascinating journey of restoration and improvement. They have sensitively renovated this fine Georgian home, taking great care to complement the exceptional array of period features with bespoke kitchens and woodwork from Thoroughly Wood. The end result is over 6700 sq. Ft of grand and luxuriously appointed accommodation, with a highly versatile layout, arranged over five floors and ideal for intergenerational living.The property is entered via a handsome front door, with a fanlight above it. A vast reception hall with high skirting boards, cornice work, decorative alcoves and archways provide an immediate sense of the immense character within Napier House. On the ground floor, there are two beautifully appointed kitchens, both handcrafted by Thoroughly Wood, with bespoke, traditionally styled fitted units, set around granite topped work surfaces, Agas, integrated Miele appliances and splendid sash windows with window seats. In fact, there are lovely sash windows throughout the house, each with their original working shutters.The right-hand kitchen/breakfast room opens into a wonderful family room, with a cosy open fire and fine views over the gardens. Also on the ground floor, an inner hallway leads to a useful cloakroom and utility room on the right-hand side of the house, whilst on the left, there is a charming reading room, a coats room & cloakroom and a sweeping staircase, which ascends to the first floor.On the first floor, there is a grand drawing room with intricate cornice work, a marble fireplace and two oriel bay windows which afford sea views. To the left of the drawing room, there is a study, whilst to the right, there is a spectacular main suite. This is comprised of an elegant bedroom, with tall sash windows offering sea views, a dressing room with bespoke fitted furniture from Thoroughly Wood and a traditionally styled en-suite bathroom.The second floor is comprised of two impressive double bedrooms, a dressing room with a luxury en-suite bathroom and a further bathroom, with a beautiful slipper bath. The top floor offers an additional three double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom, with a modern and stylish white suite.Both halves of the house have a lower ground floor, including three further reception rooms, a study, two wine cellars and a boiler room. One of these reception rooms is a wonderfully cosy and atmospheric sitting room, with a splendid, exposed brick fireplace and finished with Farrow & Ball décor.Outside:Napier House sits within a secluded plot of 0.31 acres, approached via an attractive, enclosed front garden. The rear garden is completely walled and mainly laid to lawn, with beautifully planted beds and borders and several mature trees. Adjacent to the house, there is a Yorkstone paved patio area, with inset herringbone design brick sections and a raised water feature, whilst to the rear of the plot, there is a small fruit orchard and wildflower area.
