From the Listing: <\/b>“Built over 200 years ago, this five-bedroom former schoolhouse in Deal\u2019s Old Town has been reimagined by its current owner. It unfolds across over 3,960 square feet, with a muted, limewashed palette that emphasizes its generous proportions and soaring ceilings. Original features have been paired with modern interventions such as the steel staircase that winds through the core of the house. An open-plan kitchen and dining room opens to a south-facing courtyard garden. The property lies on Stanley Road, which leads to the town\u2019s shingle beach.<\/i><\/p>\n

“The house\u2019s period frontage belies the contemporary interiors within. From the outside, Flemish-bond brick and a towering pitched roof render a distinct profile. Entry is from the north side, via an original wooden door that opens to a hallway. Ahead lies the sleek central steel staircase along with adjacent six-over-six Georgian glazing.<\/i><\/p>\n

“All five of the home\u2019s bedrooms lie upstairs. The principal is defined by tall ceilings, contoured walls, and enough space for a seating area beneath a large, original arched window. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, both with en suite bathrooms concealed behind wardrobes. The remaining two bedrooms lie on the second floor with exposed timber frames.<\/i><\/p>\n

“Entered via the dining room, the house\u2019s wide and private courtyard garden is bounded by brick walls along three sides, with a row of pleached holm trees along the fourth.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
