About this property

Dexter's House - gorgeous, dog friendly, seaside holiday home in centre of Deal

Dexter's House is a Grade II listed property built around 1850's. In its history it has been a baker’s and confectioner's shop, a drapery and fancy goods shop and a provision and cooked meats store! This beautifully decorated 3 bedroom holiday home is perfect for families, or friends looking for a break to escape reality by the calming coast. Dogs are more than welcome, the owners have kindly requested that dogs are not allowed upstairs and there is a stair gate installed for that purpose. The décor has a homely nautical feel throughout the three floors, perfect theming as it is located parallel to the seafront. The location is brilliant, as well is being a pebble throw away from the sea, Deal high street is only a minute's walk away.

The moment you step into Dexter's House you will feel totally at home. The 3 bedroom cottage has been very thoughtfully decorated throughout, with colourful artwork, comfy fluffy cushions and attractive furniture. The cottage is an ideal place to visit any time of the year. In the winter you can light the log burner in the sitting room to make it warm and cosy; in the summer you have a wonderfully pretty courtyard garden, where you can enjoy total privacy with seating and a BBQ.

Ground Floor
Upon entering the property you step into the cosy sitting room, housing stylish furniture, a log burner, smart TV (with Netflix) and a large comfy corner sofa - ready for those snug evening's in front of the fire. A step down takes you into a light dining area / kitchen with seating for 6. There are large patio doors from the kitchen to the private courtyard, providing beautiful natural light into the kitchen throughout the day. The well-equipped kitchen is fully fitted with induction hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave and washer/dryer - everything you need for preparing home cooked meals for the family to enjoy.

From the sitting room there is an archway which opens to a winding staircase taking you to the:
First Floor
A good-sized light bedroom at the front of the house with a king size bed - (The mattresses on all the beds are Emma mattresses - luxury mattresses voted by Which guide as the best mattresses of 2019.) The room is filled with beautiful furniture and storage with built in cupboards that house plenty of hanging space.

Carrying on from the landing you step into a large relaxing bathroom in the eaves at the back of the property with a lovely big bath and overhead shower.
Just past the bathroom is another light, airy bedroom with a cosy feel. Two single beds and storage space perfect for children or friends.

Second Floor
A lovely bright master bedroom with a comfy chair by the window to take in the sea views to one side and views of the street on the other - a perfect spot to take time out and read a book. Again this bedroom has been beautifully decorated with stylish furniture, plants and artwork. This master bedroom also houses a gorgeous en-suite shower room, with hand basin and a WC.

Additional information
There are two Echo Dot's in the property - one in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom so guests can listen to the radio/music of their choice in these rooms.
Babies are welcome (there is a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs) and a travel cot is available upon request, as well as logs for the log burner.

A excellent cottage in a superb location.

A superb cottage. Very well location 50 mtrs. from the seafront. Extremely well appointed and would highly recommend. Just one small point. A nonslip mat in the bath would be useful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Character cottage with history

Dexter's Cottage is full of character and beautifully decorated throughout. It is well equipped with modern appliances. The stairs are steep but plenty of bannisters are provided. It is positioned between the High Street and the coast.

Feed back on Dexters cottage

Fabulous cottage , home from home. Great location, you can even see the sea from the top bedroom. A welcome pack would have been nice and extra hand towels for hair washing. The towels and a spare key ( which I requested) were fulfilled upon request. Would definitely return to Dexters cottage.

Excellent weekend break

We’ve stayed here before in this old quirky house in the middle of Deals conservation area. Wonderful location, warm and comfortable with three good sized bedrooms. Very steep stairs as a lot of this aged properties in Deal have. Suffice to say we’ve already booked to return for another long weekend in the New Year.

staying in 119 middle street Deal

The house was in a great location and was clean and comfortable. The only downside was that there was very loud building work being done a few doors along that went on for hours each day. Luckily we had good weather and went out each day, if we hadn’t it would have been a problem.

Dreamy Deal

We really felt lucky to have found this property. Location is perfect. Dreamy high st just a minutes walk away. Cosy pubs and restaurants near by. Middle street fish and chip shop - amazing ! Get there early to avoid que ! Love the feel of the old streets and walked them all. Have some serious door envy ! Inside of the property is very well maintained, and the most comfortable bed (other than my own ) that we have ever slept in. Wish we had booked two weeks. Did not want to leave
