Quaint and magical in equal measure, this sweet Victorian cottage is a fabulous hideaway. Located in the heart of Deal, this home has tranquil spaces for you to enjoy a little rest and relaxation. Feel the warmth of your morning cuppa between your hands in your delightful walled courtyard garden. Surrounded by greenery and capturing the sun, you’ll forget there’s a vibrant town on your doorstep. For days spent relaxing at home, this cottage is a bookworm’s dream – after all, reading is dreaming with open eyes. Shelves stacked with classic literature invite you to browse the spines, pull out a book and sink into the armchair to get lost in a story – if you’re anything like us, you could spend days, not just hours, in this comfortable spot, escaping to other worlds. Another feature that ticks a box for us is the rolltop bath. Pour a glass of wine and enjoy a little quiet time, soothing your muscles and simply relaxing after a day spent exploring the coast. Small but mighty, this little cottage packs a punch, beautifully bringing together a sense of calmness with the buzz of the surrounding landscape.
