Old Chelsea is a charming circa 1700s cottage tucked away on one of Deal’s most photographed, pedestrianised lanes, where pots and flowering plants create a particularly lovely setting during the spring and summer months. Sitting in the heart of the town’s historic conservation area, the cottage is perfectly placed for enjoying the very best of Deal, with the beach, pier and promenade in one direction and the independent High Street, with its shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, in the other. Sympathetically restored by the owners, Old Chelsea has retained plenty of its original character while offering a stylish place to stay. The cosy sitting room is a welcoming space to return to after a day by the sea, with a sofa and armchair, Smart TV and wood burner for cooler evenings. A pretty bay window incorporates a window seat and dining area, while the small but well equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook and spend time together. At the front, simply step out onto the charming flower lined lane and wander towards historic Middle Street, with Deal’s long pebble beach and seafront just beyond.
