Deal, Kent
L’Espirit
Tucked away in a quiet square in the heart of Deal, L’Esprit is a beautifully refurbished three bedroom home, offering stylish contemporary interiors and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Having undergone an extensive renovation, the house has been thoughtfully redesigned to create a surprisingly spacious and welcoming home, perfect for families or groups of friends. The bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is a wonderful space for spending time together, with a sleek, well-equipped kitchen and direct access to the courtyard garden. A separate sitting room with a comfortable corner sofa provides the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring the coast. Upstairs are three beautifully presented bedrooms, two with king-size beds and one with a double, along with a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room. Outside, the south facing courtyard is a lovely place to enjoy morning coffee, summer barbecues or an evening drink. Families are particularly well catered for, with toys, books, games and children’s equipment provided, while golfers will appreciate the two sets of Ping golf clubs available for guests to use. L’Esprit is just a short stroll from Deal’s beautiful seafront, and even closer to the bustling High Street with its independent boutiques, cafés and excellent restaurants. With so much to discover on the doorstep, it’s a wonderful base for enjoying everything this charming Kent seaside town has to offer.
