A charming Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Deal's historic conservation area, close to the beach and town centre.

Situated in arguably the most picturesque section of this historic and sought after street, this charming Grade II listed period cottage offers an intriguing yet highly practical layout, with the entire living space arranged on the ground floor.

The house presents a particularly attractive frontage, with its soft pastel painted brickwork, original sash windows, and distinctive blue shutters, a notable feature is the historic firemark, still in place on the front elevation, a rare and fascinating detail. These metal plaques were once issued by 18th and 19th century insurance companies to indicate a property was insured, and their presence adds an additional layer of historical interest to this particually fine residence.

Inside, the sitting room features a lovely bell-backed fireplace with a wood burning stove and an original wig cupboard, adding to the character of the room. French doors open out to a private coutyard. A slight step down leads to the separate dining area, another characterful space with stable door opening onto a further, west facing patio garden to the rear. This arrangement allows for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with each reception room enjoying its own distinct outdoor area. The dining area leads through to a well appointed fitted kitchen, which also provides access to the side courtyard. Unusually for a property of this age, there is a useful downstairs WC located off the kitchen. Additionally there is useful storage in the cellar.

The upper floors offer three generous double bedrooms, each with its own individual charm, including period fireplaces, original wood panelling, and ceiling beams. A family bathroom serves the upper levels, completing the upstairs accommodation.

With its well balanced layout, blend of period features and rare dual courtyard gardens, 97 Middle Street presents a wonderful opportunity to own a beautifully preserved and sensitively updated home in one of the area’s most attractive locations.

OUTSIDE

A lovely secluded west facing courtyard garden to the rear of the property is accessed directly from the dining room. French doors from the sitting room open directly onto a further private, east facing courtyard, providing a sheltered and sunny spot ideal for morning coffee. This can also be accessed from the kitchen. The side gate opens on to Middle Street.
