About this property

Delightful seaside cottage, central, quiet with free parking. Sleeps 4+1

Welcome to Number 5 – a light, airy seaside retreat in the heart of historic Deal
Just a one-minute stroll from the beach and moments from Deal Pier, Number 5 is a beautifully presented coastal home perfectly placed for a relaxing seaside escape. Tucked away in Deal’s charming Old Town, the house enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting while still being only steps from the vibrant high street, where you’ll find independent shops, fantastic cafés, and a wide choice of excellent restaurants.
One of Number 5’s standout features is its private off-street parking for one car — a real rarity and huge bonus in the town centre, where parking can be limited and costly. If you’re arriving with a second vehicle, there is also a residents’ car park directly behind the property, available if space permits.
Inside, the house is bright, welcoming and thoughtfully equipped for guests of all ages. The sunny garden is perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach, while indoors you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen complete with a dishwasher and washing machine, making longer stays effortless. There are also books and board games for cosy evenings in.
The property sleeps five across three comfortable bedrooms:
One double bedroom (with space for a cot if required)
One twin bedroom
One single bedroom
There are two bathrooms for added convenience — a downstairs shower room and an upstairs family bathroom with a bath.
Families are especially well catered for. If you’re travelling with young children, you’ll find a travel cot, high chair, baby bath, stair gate, changing mat and toys, so there’s no need to pack the extras.
Dogs are very welcome at Number 5, so you don’t have to leave your four-legged family member behind. Deal is a wonderfully dog-friendly seaside town, with miles of beautiful walks right on your doorstep — from beach and promenade strolls to longer routes along the cliffs towards St Margaret’s Bay. Many local cafés, pubs and eateries also happily welcome well-behaved dogs, making it an ideal destination for a relaxed break with your pet.
Deal itself is a delightful seaside town with plenty to explore. Discover its two historic castles, museum, and the UK’s only post-war pier, complete with an award-winning restaurant at the pier head. Enjoy elegant Georgian architecture, live music at the bandstand, a lively weekly market and long days on the beautiful beach.
For walkers and cyclists, the surrounding area is a dream. Take the stunning cliff-top walk to St Margaret’s Bay or cycle through to Betteshanger Country Park. Food lovers will be spoilt for choice with Deal’s outstanding range of restaurants, cafés and bistros, while shoppers can browse one of the country’s best selections of independent shops — Deal has even been named High Street of the Year.
Number 5 is also perfectly located for exploring further afield. Canterbury is just a 30-minute drive, Broadstairs and Margate are a short journey along the coast, and even France is within reach via a 1 hour 15 minute ferry crossing.
Despite being so central, the house remains wonderfully quiet — nearby bars close by 9pm — ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep. The train station is an easy 8-minute walk away, with direct services to London every hour, taking approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a seaside escape with friends, or a relaxed coastal break with your dog, Number 5 offers comfort, convenience and an unbeatable location — the perfect base for making the most of Deal. Top 3 Reasons to Book Number 5
Steps from the beach, pier and Old Town
Just a one-minute walk to the beach and moments from Deal Pier, with independent shops, cafés and restaurants right on your doorstep — all while enjoying a peaceful Old Town setting.
Rare private parking in central Deal
Off-street parking for one car right outside the house — a genuine luxury in the town centre where parking is limited, expensive and hard to find.
Comfort for everyone (including dogs)
Light, airy interiors, a sunny garden, family-friendly facilities, and dogs welcome too — making Number 5 ideal for couples, families, friends and four-legged guests alike.

This property was just what we wanted. Very clean and comfortable with all the facilities we needed. Maybe a couple of games like Scrabble or backgammon would add to possibilities when it is raining. Can’t wait to be stay there again.
