Narayan is a beautiful, elegant holiday home in the heart of Deal’s Georgian conservation area. The owner has renovated the house to to a very high standard creating a luxurious interior combined with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
From the exposed beams and painted panelling to the zellige tiles, brass fittings and beautifully chosen furniture, this is a house that has been put together with real vision and considerable style. The house runs across three floors in the way that only old Deal cottages can, each room leading naturally into the next, the layout unfolding gradually as you move through it. On the ground floor, the sitting room at the front is anchored by an exposed brick fireplace with a log burner and sets the tone for the whole house. Beyond it, the kitchen/diner is well-equipped and beautifully finished with green shaker cabinets, a full splashback of ochre zellige tiles and a dining table that seats six comfortably. From there, the house opens into a wonderful rear conservatory room, with a large skylight flooding the space with light; a lovely space to sit and read a book. A ground floor shower room with a gold framed glass shower, and beautiful diamond tile floor is just beyond. Doors from the conservatory room lead out to the courtyard which is sheltered, quiet and entirely your own. Three bedrooms and a further bathroom are spread across the upper floors: the two master bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom with a deep marble bath with overhead shower and warm tiles are found on the first floor and the charming twin room tucked under the eaves is on the top floor. Narayan is kind of home that is very easy to fall in love with, but very hard to leave.
