Charming, period cottage located just off the vibrant high street of Deal with a gorgeous garden!
Keepers Cottages are delighted to welcome you to the Writer's Cottage, a charming, period, three-storey cottage located just off the vibrant high street of Deal.
This tastefully decorated, coastal cottage would suit couples, or a family looking for a centrally located base for a trip to Deal.
The pallet of soft white walls, exposed beams, wooden floors and soft carpets in the bedrooms, give the house a homely, easy-going feel which will suit most guests looking for a relaxed location to unwind.
Arranged over three floors, there are two double bedrooms and a cloakroom with WC/ handbasin on the first floor. The large, bright reception room and relaxed dining room are on the ground floor, the spacious kitchen & attractive master bathroom, are located on the lower ground floor.
The property has a deceptively large, and very attractive rear garden. Access to the garden is via the lower-ground floor, however the addition of French doors and a pretty Juliette-style balcony in the dining room, allows you to enjoy the lovely garden vista from the ground floor.
The bright kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, whether you choose to eat in the cosy dining room during colder months, or in the beautiful garden with its choice of seating, in the warmer months!
Entrance Ground Floor Step through the front door of the Writer's Cottage and into the charming reception room with wooden floors and soft grey sofas. The light decor and exposed beams give the space a historical, yet cosy feel. The relaxed dining room with wooden table and chairs to comfortably seat 6 people, has French doors with a Juliette style balcony, which allow a beautiful view of the garden and add to the feeling of space in this open-plan room.
Lower Ground Floor Kitchen Stairs lead you down to a large, Mediterranean-style kitchen, which has painted built in cupboards, pretty tiles and a useful breakfast bar with high stools to perhaps enjoy a morning coffee. The fully equipped kitchen has an ample supply of glass, chinaware and cooking equipment. There is a dishwasher, microwave, and a gas hob with oven under.
Master Bathroom The wonderful, wood-panelled master bathroom, has a freestanding roll top bath, separate built in shower cubicle, handbasin and WC
First Floor Bedroom One The master bedroom has an attractive street view, wooden double bed, ample storage and soft carpets.
Cloakroom The cloakroom is located next door to the master bedroom and has a WC and handbasin.
Bedroom Two Bedroom two is located at the rear of the house with a pretty annexed ceiling and exposed beams. There is a king-size metal bed, generous storage and subtle lighting. This cosy bedroom continues the same fresh, modern approach which flows through this lovely home.
Outside The garden is a really lovely large sunny area. There is a paved area for eating and the rest is laid to lawn.

Das Häuschen liegt direkt in der Innenstadt von Deal. Es ist super geeignet für eine Familie mit 4 Personen und wir hatten sogar noch unseren mittelgroßen Hund dabei. Der Garten ist sehr schön und bietet auch im Sommer genügend Schatten. Wir haben jeden Tag draußen gefrühstückt.Die Küche ist super ausgestattet.In 5 Minuten erreicht man zu Fuß Sainsbury’s und Aldi, und auch die Innenstadt von Deal. Bis zum Meer (mit einem sehr schönen pebblestone Strand). Baden ist bei allen Gezeiten möglich.Für den Hund gibt es eine Grünfläche zum toben in ca. 5 Minuten Entfernung, Wiesenwege und Wege am Wasser in ca. 15 Minuten Entfernung.Deal ist sehr hundefreundlich.Deal bietet viele schöne Cafés, pubs und Bars.Deal ist idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Es gibt innerhalb 1-2 Stunden sehr viel zu entdecken.

Deal - Union Road
Deal ist eine Reise wert und für ein paar Tage ist das Appartement auch sehr cool, weil sehr zentral gelegen und einen kleinen Garten zum entspannen. Dass es keinen Parkplatz hat, ist nicht so schlimm, man ist schnell an der Seafront.Allerdings ist zu beachten: die Treppen im Haus sind steil und eng. Für vier Personen halte ich das für eine Herausforderunge. Ansonsten alles prima
