2 BRIGHT & B r i g h t The Clock House 18 Halliday Drive, Walmer, Kent CT14 7AX A substantial, Grade II listed period town house forming an important part of the former Officers Mess in the Royal Marines Cavalry Barracks. PEOPLE & PROPERTY Distances Deal 1 mile Dover 9 miles Canterbury 30 minutes Sandwich 6 miles London 80 minutes (By HST from Walmer) Channel Tunnel 30 minutes Times & distances are approximate. The Property Dating from the late 18 th century the officers mess was a dominant and imposing building overlooking the parade ground. When the Marines left Deal in 1996, the barracks were sold off and the former officers mess was converted in around 2008 into substantial town houses and apartments which now enjoy a south easterly outlook over the acres of maintained lawns just a few hundred yards from Walmer seafront. The Clock House comprises the important central portion of this handsome row of houses and is uniquely presented throughout by the present owner, a well known interior designer, in a style which reflects her skills and individual character. Providing over 330 sq.m. (over 3500 sq.ft.) of accommodation features include sash windows, louvered shutters to the ground and first floors, moulded cornices and oiled Norwegian oak flooring throughout the Ground Floor. The well proportioned rooms with their high ceilings and deep windows give the property a gracious feeling of space and light. Location The house is situated in a secure setting about 300 yards from Walmer sea front with its long shingle beach, fishing boats, sailing club and lifeboat. Local shops and other amenities are within a few minutes walk of the property. Deal, with its largely unspoilt seafront, enjoys good High Street shopping with a number of major retailers complimented by an excellent selection of local shops and trades. In January 2014 the town won The Daily Telegraph Award for High Street of the Year. The railway station offers a frequent London services (including high-speed services to St Pancras) and good access exists to the Channel Ports, Canterbury, the Channel Tunnel Terminal and the motorway network. A full range of private and state educational facilities can be found locally and the general area is renowned for its sporting, leisure and recreational opportunities with golf courses of national and international status and excellent bathing, fishing, boating and sailing along the varied coastline.
