A wooden staircase with ornate white-painted balustrade ascends to the first floor, which is occupied by three comfortable bedrooms. Wood panelling lines the walls of the principal bedroom, its rich tones conveying a sense of grandeur. Overhead, an intricate strapwork ceiling has been recently installed by the current owners, a style that was popular when the house was first built. One of the additional bedrooms has a large sash window, while the other is characterised by gently sloped archways and alcoves.
A small flight of steps descends from the landing to a shared bathroom, its pitched roof inset with a large skylight. The walls and bathtub are wrapped in wood panelling, complemented by neat red tiling.
The Great Outdoors
A large walled courtyard sits to the rear of the house, with gravelled area and borders filled with greenery. There is a crab apple tree, and ample room for sitting out on a pleasant day.
Out and About
Sandwich’s townscape remains vigorously honest to its medieval layout, resulting in a wonderful jumble of small streets lined with colourful shops and eateries across the historic town centre and along the River Stour. Along the quay and high street are a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars, including Luigi’s for traditional Neapolitan cuisine, the historic George & Dragon pub (originally built in 1446 for the 24th year of the 1st reign of Henry VI), Drill Hall for artisan pizza and Time & Tide Taphouse for craft beer – all within a five-minute walk of the house. For a taste of the continent, visit DiVino Wine Bar – previously a historic grocery store, its original counter is still intact. Check out nearby Delf Farmshop for locally grown produce, and Updown Farmhouse for a luxurious staycation or a gourmet meal.
A weekly market takes place every Thursday morning, and a farmers’ market on the last Saturday of the month. Both are hosted at the 16th-century Guildhall, which houses its own museum holding the Sandwich Magna Carta from 1300 and the Charter of the Forest, as well as artefacts dating back to the Mesolithic period. For a bit of peace and quiet, visit the Secret Gardens of Sandwich, encircled by the old stone city walls and designed by renowned English architect Edwin Lutyens. There are a further three and a half acres of ornamental gardens created by Lutyens and celebrated British horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll. English Heritage has also recently completed works on Richborough Roman Fort and Amphitheatre, where visitors can discover the cradle of life for Roman Britain less than a ten-minute drive away.
Endless outdoor adventures await in Sandwich Bay and St Margaret’s Bay, and the nearby Kent Coastal path means it is possible to walk for miles along the area’s many beachfront promenades, chalk cliffs and sandy beaches. The area is within a short distance of several nature reserves, including Gazen Salts, Monks Wall and Pegwell nature reserves, as well as Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory.
Notably, Sandwich Bay’s long, sand and pebble beach is backed by several world-class golf courses; the 2021 Open Championship was played in Sandwich at the Royal St George’s Golf Club. Two other highly regarded clubs, Prince’s Golf Club and Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, both previous Open venues, can be found immediately north and south of St George’s.
Further amenities and attractions can be found in nearby Deal, a 20-minute drive south via the A258. Major attractions include Deal Castle, constructed in the shape of a Tudor rose by Henry VIII and the famed Deal Pier, the last fully intact leisure pier remaining in Kent. Excellent dining options include The Rose Hotel and The Frog & Scot, while The Black Pig butchers and Jenkins & Sons fishmongers are also both noteworthy. Deal is also home to the ever-popular lifestyle and homewares emporium Green & Found. Constructed in the early 1800s within the Captain’s Gardens at Deal Castle, it provides creative spaces for local craftspeople to work and hosts workshops, talks, and events.
Sandwich has several well-regarded schools, including Sandwich Junior School, Sandwich Infant School and Sir Roger Manwood’s School.
The house is conveniently located just a ten-minute walk from Sandwich train station, which runs direct services to London St Pancras in just over 90 minutes and Charing Cross in around two and half hours. From Sandwich, it’s a 30-minute train or 20-minute drive down to Dover, a 25-minute drive up the coast to Margate, and around a two-hour drive to London via the M2. Access to the continent is also excellent via the Port of Dover, and the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone.
