Set in the historic heart of Upper Deal, The Artists' House is a former bakery which has been lovingly transformed into a creative and characterful family home. This was the home of a sculptor and a theatre producer, and it shows in every room. Original artwork, hand carved Carrara marble sculptures, shelves of well thumbed books, a piano waiting to be played, and the relaxed, warmth of a house that has clearly been enjoyed for years. Sleeping up to ten guests across five bedrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone. It suits multi-generational families or groups of friends who want room to spread out, gather over a long meals, and still find a quiet corner of their own. The kitchen and diner sits at the heart of the home, with the original bakery oven still in place at the rear, a quiet nod to the building's working past. From here, doors open onto the courtyard garden, a lovely spot for morning coffee or an evening drink as the day winds down. There are overhead lights for the evening, which makes the space perfect for relaxed evenings. Upstairs, a comfortable sitting room is wrapped in books and art, full of character and lovely place to sit an watch movies as a group, or get stuck into a good book. The bedrooms each have their own personality, from a modern ground floor room with a sleek en suite shower room, to a snug loft room under the eaves that is a fun place for little ones and great for hide and seek! One of the rooms is tucked away across the balcony for proper privacy, a wonderfully quirky room with a freestanding bath at the foot of the bed. The Artist's House is comfortable, well-equipped and full of personality. With off road parking for two cars, one in front of the shop and one at the rear - a real bonus in Deal, The Artists' House is a hard to beat base for a larger group wanting something genuinely different. Through the courtyard garden, there is a back entrance to Church Path which leads on the left to a field, just seconds away for a quick dog walk. Turn right and there's a minutes walk across Manor Road to the Church providing another good place for dogs to run around. At the top of Rectory Road, there is a path between the houses that leads to extensive countryside walks. The beach is 20 minutes on foot, or 5 minutes in the car or by bus, making The Artist's House a great base for a relaxing holiday in Deal.

House Full of Charm & Culture

Wonderful house for the 7 of us. Plenty of suitable spaces to relax and enjoy each others company but also have space if you wanted. About a 25 min walk to the beach/high street down some back laneways which were very pleasant .
Taxis were easy to arrange, and a visit to the pub on the beach in Kingsdown ‘The Zetland Arms’ should be a must.
Staff were responsive with an issue we had so no beef there.
