Central House
Deal, Kent
Central House is a rather special Grade II listed building – the perfect retreat for lovers of history and aesthetes.
If you’re looking to step back in time a hundred years or so, then Central House might just be the ticket for you.

There are two bathrooms (one on first floor and one on top floor) each with bath, loo and basin. There is also a shower downstairs on the ground floor (please see photos).
The bedrooms are uncluttered and spacious – the two doubles both have sea views (please see photos) and the twin bedroom is situated at the back of the house on the first floor with a view out onto the garden and higgledy-piggledy Georgian rooftops which get the evening sunshine.
Please note that the ceilings in the two upstairs double bedrooms are quite low, which is typical of homes from this period if you are familiar with English historic homes. The stairs leading to these rooms and the top bathroom have deeper treads and a supporting wall rather than an additional handrail, so they may not be suitable for anyone with mobility concerns.
Ground floor:
- Huge dining room with seating for 8 and open fire
- Kitchen
- Downstairs bedroom with French doors out onto garden
- Hallway leading to:
- Shower room
First floor:
- Huge lounge with sea views and floor-to-ceiling windows and window seats
- Twin bedroom with 2 single beds. (Please note, the twin bedroom has wall lamps only and there is no overhead light, which we feel adds to the charm and character of the house, but realise may not suit everybody.)
