What owner says: For nearly 20 years we’ve cherished living in this house, enjoying how easily it has adapted to our families’ growing requirements whilst always giving us an extraordinary connection to the sea and coast. Some of our most treasured memories come from quiet evenings on our balcony, watching the harbour lights shimmer below and the distant French coastline glow across the Channel; a nightly panorama that never lost its magic. Now it is time to move on and we hope a new family can take this remarkable home into its next chapter and enjoy the house and locale as much as we have. Capel‑le‑Ferne offers a rare blend of coastal tranquility and everyday convenience, making it one of the most desirable, if lesser known, cliff‑top communities in Kent. Positioned along the iconic White Cliffs, the area provides immediate access to breathtaking coastal walks on the North Downs Way and the Saxon Shore Way, the renowned Battle of Britain Memorial, and a network of scenic footpaths that stretch for miles in both directions. Local amenities include a well‑regarded primary school, village store, and welcoming community centre, while a wider selection of shops, cafés, and services can be found in nearby Folkestone or Dover. The vibrant creative quarter in Folkestone is a particular highlight, and the regenerated harbour arm offers some fantastic food, drink and entertainment alongside an array of exciting local restaurants. High‑speed rail links from Folkestone Central place London within easy reach, and the proximity to the Channel Tunnel and Dover’s ferry port makes continental travel exceptionally convenient.

What the owners say: We’ve enjoyed this private and privileged position on the outskirts of Walmer, a sought‑after area rightly celebrated for its peaceful atmosphere, historic charm, and access to some of Kent’s most picturesque seafronts. Just minutes away lies the Walmer and Deal coastline, offering long promenades, shingle beaches, and panoramic sea views stretching towards the iconic Deal Pier. The area is rich in heritage, with Walmer Castle and Deal Castle providing cultural interest alongside beautifully maintained gardens and scenic walking routes. Whether enjoying a morning stroll along the shore, dining in one of Deal’s acclaimed independent restaurants, or exploring boutique shops and galleries, the surrounding towns offer a vibrant yet relaxed coastal lifestyle within easy reach. Despite its rural tranquillity, our home is exceptionally well connected. Nearby Deal provides a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, cafés, artisan bakeries, leisure facilities, and a thriving high street. For families, the area offers excellent schooling options, both state and independent, while outdoor enthusiasts benefit from easy access to cycling routes, and miles of countryside and coastal paths. Golfing enthusiasts can enjoy their game at the Kingsdown and Walmer and the Royal Cinque Ports golf clubs and if you want to go slightly further afield there are also the championship courses at Sandwich.  We are also ideally placed for commuting. Walmer station is half a mile away, offering high speed direct rail services to London in under 90 minutes, making the capital comfortably accessible for daily travel. Road links are equally convenient, with the A2 and M2 providing straightforward routes towards Canterbury, Dover, and London. This rare combination of rural seclusion, coastal beauty, and strong transport connections makes the location particularly appealing for those seeking a balanced lifestyle; peaceful at home yet well connected when needed. Historical Information The owners have been informed by previous residents of the farm that Lord Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, used Coldblow Farm to house his hunting dogs when he was Lord Warden at nearby Walmer Castle. In the 1950s an original 19th Century Hooden Horse was discovered and dug up in the front garden.  This is on display in Deal Museum.

We were the first public owners of a property on this site back in 1998 and have thoroughly enjoyed living here ever since. It is a wonderful family home and, as it is in a cul-de-sac, it is very safe for children and pets and virtually all the houses near ours have been family homes with kids providing a very friendly community. During our time here we have put in new bathrooms and the kitchen but still kept all the historic period features that give it such a great character. The property is in a wonderful location as we are only a very short distance from the seafront and some useful local shops along the Strand where you will find the bandstand and the Downs Sailing Club and where regular events are held. We can walk into Deal town centre in about 10 minutes and enjoy the wonderful shops, restaurants, seafront and famous pier as well as the Saturday market, while Tides swimming pool complex is not far away. The fast train from the mainline station at Walmer can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half, and excellent educational facilities are available in the vicinity. These include the Kingsdown and Ringwould Primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted as well as first class grammar and private schools in Dover, Sandwich and Canterbury. There are the Kingsdown and Walmer and the Royal Cinque Ports golf clubs for golfing enthusiasts and, if you want to go slightly further afield, there is also the championship course at Royal St George's as well as Princes while other sports clubs include rugby and bowls.

What the owner says: I have actually lived in Deal for the past 55 years and in this charming house for many years but I now feel it is time to downsize. I have always loved the town with its plethora of quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants including the Dining Club, The Blue Pelican and Little Harriet’s tea rooms and a raft of attractive independent shops as well as the Saturday market and the seafront with its historic pier. Indeed living opposite the pier I thoroughly enjoy watching the people passing by and the activities on the pier and the beach as well as being able to stroll to the shops in a minute. For sporting aficionados there are a number of clubs available in Deal and Walmer including rugby, bowls, tennis and croquet as well as the Tides swimming pool complex, the Downs Sailing club and the rowing club. While for golfing enthusiasts the Royal Cinque Ports and Kingsdown and Walmer golf clubs might beckon or, if you want to go slightly further afield, there are the championship golf courses in Sandwich. There are excellent primary schools in the area including Warden House, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while excellent grammar schools are available in Dover, Sandwich, Ramsgate and Canterbury with first class private schools in Dover, Ramsgate and Canterbury. These are easily accessible by train from Deal station, which is only a short walk from the property. The station is also useful for commuters as the fast train can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half and if you want a trip to the Continent there is easy access to Dover docks and the Channel Tunnel.

What the owner says From the moment we first arrived here, we knew we had found somewhere special. The location has been one of the greatest joys of living here, quiet, elegant, and wonderfully convenient, with everything Broadstairs is loved for just a short stroll away. One of the greatest pleasures has been our proximity to the town centre, only minutes from the doorstep. Broadstairs’ charming high street, with its independent boutiques, artisan cafés, and friendly local businesses, has always felt like an extension of our home. Whether popping out for fresh bread in the morning or enjoying an evening drink, the town has a warmth and character that never fades. Equally delightful is how close we are to the beach. Viking Bay, with its golden sands and sweeping views, has been our go‑to place for morning walks, family days, and those spontaneous sunset moments that make coastal living so magical. The sea air, the sound of the waves, the sense of calm, it’s all just a gentle walk from the house.

The food fairs are a highlight too—showcasing local produce, artisan makers, and the best of Kent’s culinary scene. And of course, the restaurants. Broadstairs is blessed with an exceptional dining scene, from cosy seafront eateries to fine dining experiences. Being able to walk to so many outstanding places has been a luxury in itself. Everyday amenities, supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, parks, and leisure facilities, are all close by, making life here both effortless and enjoyable. It’s a location that offers the perfect balance: peaceful residential living with the very best of Broadstairs just moments away. After many happy years, we can say with confidence that the location of 19 The Vale has been one of its greatest treasures.
