With a wide expanse of beach, boutique shops and bistros on your doorstep, it’s little wonder that Walmer and Deal make an increasingly fashionable enclave.

In a former 18th century marine barracks overlooking the parade ground, North Barracks House is a modern property built during the redevelopment of the site.

This part of the North Barracks site was largely made up of officers’ housing, a guardhouse
and stables.

Four-bedroom North Barracks House is very much of the Georgian style, with bold, yet elegant symmetry, large sash windows and sitting behind almost stately wrought-iron railings.

The ground floor layout is flexible and adaptable in its use, and includes a dining room which is open to a bright and welcoming reception hall, a large living room which adjoins a conservatory, a kitchen and adjoining breakfast room and utility room. Finally, before heading upstairs, there is a cloakroom.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, the master bedroom including a large range of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.

Two of the guest rooms are both large double rooms, while the fourth bedroom is a comfortable single bedroom or study. The guest rooms are all served by the family bathroom, which also has a shower cubicle.

Approached along a private and no-through, residential road, North Barracks House has off-street parking for two cars in addition to a garage and unrestricted parking to the front.

As part of the former officers’ quarters, the properties here are screened and protected from the public eye by a large and original brick wall which borders the back garden.

Access is via North Barracks Road and the guardhouse, imparting a feeling of security and exclusivity.

Both the kitchen and conservatory open out on to the garden, which lies to the back of the property. It has a sunny, decked area and a lawn with planted borders.
