Oldestairs House is a much loved family coastal home built in 1910, located in Kingsdown, a beautifu

Oldestairs House is a much loved family coastal home built in 1910, located in Kingsdown, a beautiful and still undiscovered village in the corner of England at the end of the White Cliffs of Dover, near Deal and just over an hour from London. The house sleeps ten guests comfortably in five bedrooms. The home has been fully redecorated recently with colours to match the seaside location. Enjoy spending quality time together in the sociable living space, head outside to the large garden or take a short minutes' walk to the beach for a stroll or a swim. This stylish home is perfect for multigenerational families or groups of friends. The house suits family guests as our neighbours are dear friends so is not suitable for parties. Pets are not allowed.

Local Information

The property is located in the picturesque village of Kingsdown with an abundance of beautiful walks, it's own shingle beach, views of the White Cliffs, village shops and three wonderful pubs to choose between. Stay put and enjoy swimming in the sea or walk or cycle into the vibrant seaside town of Deal with it's thriving Saturday market, variety of independent shops, delis and boutique restaurants.

Walmer Castle and Gardens is only a 20 minute walk away and is great for family days out with the kids. Meanwhile, Sandwich Bay is only 15 minute away by car and at very low tide you can walk along the sand for miles. Dogs are welcome too. We recommend checking tide times and please note that this can only be accessed via a toll road (please check prices online).

For your everyday essentials, the closest shops are in the village of Kingsdown (only 1 mile away). Here you'll find a butchers, which has a great source of meats for a barbeque. Collect the morning paper from the newsagents or milk and other essentials from the general stores. Stop by for a drink and maybe a meal at one of Kingsdown's traditional village pubs.
