Walmer, Kent
Seaclusion
Seaclusion is a quaint and characterful cottage, with modern touches throughout, tucked away in the heart of Walmer just moments from the seafront and historic town of Deal. Once home to General Strouts Stores, this former shop has been transformed by its passionate owners into a stylish yet laid-back escape, offering a comfortable and convenient choice for families or friends looking to explore this corner of the Kent coast. Previous visitors have often referred to it as a 'Tardis', as the space continues to unfold as you move through the house. On the ground floor you will find a spacious twin bedroom, ideal for those preferring single level living, conveniently located opposite the bathroom with a walk-in shower. The compact yet well-equipped galley kitchen leads into a bright and sociable dining room. From the kitchen and dining room, there are doors out to the courtyard garden. Just beyond the dining area, the cosy sitting room invites you to unwind with a book, or enjoy a movie night in. Upstairs, three further bedrooms offer tranquil spaces to relax to after a day by the sea - two inviting doubles and a twin. Another modern bathroom mirrors the downstairs bathroom layout, with a large walk-in shower. Outside, a small south facing courtyard garden is a hidden suntrap which gets the late afternoon sunshine and is sheltered from the wind. You can start your mornings with fresh coffee whilst taking in the sea air or unwind in the evening under the heat lamp with alfresco drinks as the sun sets. In the winter, Seaclusion is incredibly well thermally insulated as it has only recently fully refurbished. The whole house has full Gas central heating. Both the dining room and lounge have log burners too for extra warmth.
