Deal, Kent
Two Rows Back
There's something about arriving at Two Rows Back that immediately feels right. A thoughtfully redesigned Georgian townhouse tucked in the heart of Deal, it sits just two streets from the sea. With a quietly striking interior that feels as considered as it is comfortable, it is the kind of home that draws in design-conscious visitors and families alike, and suits both perfectly. The ground floor opens into a beautiful open-plan living space, with a birch plywood kitchen with stainless steel worktop, a skylighted dining area with a dining table and chairs for six, and a sitting room with a corner sofa, wall mounted Smart TV and a wide window seat looking out onto the private courtyard garden. It's a lovely room to come back to after a day on the beach - shoes off, something cold from the fridge, feet up on the sofa. Exposed douglas fir joists run overhead, polished concrete floors with underfloor heating underfoot, and everywhere there is light. Outside, the whitewashed courtyard garden is a real bonus with bamboo, bulkhead lights and a table and benches, it is sheltered and entirely private. The first bedroom is on the ground floor, a lovely and cosy double. Upstairs, the house reveals its Georgian origins with original stripped floorboards, sash windows and cast iron radiators. Two further bedrooms, one double and one with bunk beds are calm and quietly beautiful with soft blush walls, they are the kind of rooms where you actually sleep well. Step outside and Deal is on your doorstep, the beach a few minutes' walk, the pier stretching out over the Channel, and one of the best independent high streets in Kent right around the corner. Great coffee, excellent delis, brilliant pubs, a Saturday market and Walmer Castle's gardens all within easy reach. It's a town that rewards slow exploration, and this house is the perfect base for it.

Reviews
Deal
From the house you can be on the high street in under two minutes, which means the Saturday market, the coffee shops and the delis are all within easy stumbling distance before the day has properly started. The Saturday market is a good place to begin with its local produce, bread, flowers and antique stalls. Deal's high street is lined with independent shops: vintage finds, bookshops, homewares and galleries sit alongside excellent cafés, wine bars and restaurants. For food and drink, Deal has so much on offer. The Rose on the high street is a neighbourhood favourite, with a wonderful seasonal menu that changes regularly. The Blue Pelican is the sister restaurant to The Rose and located on Beach Street, with its Japanese inspired cuisine. There are good pubs and wine bars too - The Ship Inn on Middle Street is a lovely cosy pub, and Le Pinardier is a fabulous new wine bar on the High Street which is particularly nice for sitting outside as the evening sun goes down. The beach is an easy stroll with its long, open shingle shore with the famous pier. Kingsdown, just further along from Deal is brilliant for children: rock pooling, crabbing, long afternoons with nothing more pressing than an ice cream and a swim. Deal and Walmer Castles are remarkable Tudor fortresses built by Henry VIII and well worth an hour with curious children in tow. Sandwich in the other direction is a medieval, quiet and surprisingly charming town and only ten minutes by car. The white cliffs and Dover Castle are twenty minutes. And Canterbury, with its cathedral, independent restaurants and excellent museums, is under forty minutes, a great day out whatever the age of your group. Deal is also brilliantly connected for a car free holiday if you want one. The train station is a short walk from the house, with regular services to Dover, Sandwich and along the coast, and a direct line to London St Pancras for anyone arriving from the city.
