Property details

This attractive, deceptively spacious 15th Century Grade II Listed home offers the best of both worlds – an abundance of period charm coupled with modern convenience, situated in the historic heart of the market town of Faversham.

Attractive as Faversham is for its wealth of historic buildings, festivals, boats, restaurants, pubs, award winning fine food outlets and the usual amenities, it is also excellently placed. Our house is within easy walking distance of the mainline train station to London Victoria just 0.3 miles away. Canterbury is 9 miles distance, M2 is located approx. 1 mile away, Ashford’s international station approx. 12 miles whilst coastal areas, rural villages and countryside are all equally within easy reach.

The property is in the only pedestrian medieval street and offers immediate access to the market square, Guildhall and town amenities. At the rear the attractive, brick paved courtyard garden leads into the cobbled Bedlington Square with its allocated private parking within secure electronic gates.






The Accommodation.

The accommodation, with gas central heating throughout, is on four floors and has recently been thoughtfully restored and improved. The exterior has been completely redecorated.

It comprises a beautiful ground floor sitting room and reception room, a spacious lower ground floor kitchen/dining room which runs the length of the building, 3 bedrooms with en suite facilities, a study and a shower room – all with exposed beams and timbers. Being a Medieval house none of the rooms are square so measurements are approximate and are taken at the widest point.

Outside the secluded brick paved courtyard garden captures the sunlight (when we have any) from noon to dusk.


GROUND FLOOR

Reception Room 16’ x 15’.
Front entrance door opens from quarry tiled steps. Exposed beams to ceiling, wall timbers and polished oak floor (which acts as a beautiful soundboard for the piano). Wooden staircase to lower ground floor. Two central heating (CH) radiators, Telephone and power points. Half glazed door leads to:

Sitting Room 19’3” x 15’
Polished oak floor and beams galore. Open log fire, which works superbly, within exposed brick chimney breast. Bookcase shelving lines one wall to waist height with exposed wall timbers above. A door opens onto the stairwell leading to the first floor. CH radiator, power and TV points. Sliding casement windows look out onto the back garden.

Lobby
An attractive range of purpose built shelving houses the new Worcester gas fired boiler. Terracotta tiled floor. A half glazed and panelled door opens to the garden. The terracotta floor continues into:

Shower Room
Mira white-tiled shower unit, white pedestal wash basin, low level WC, tiled recess and built in cupboard. A sash window overlooks the garden.

LOWER GROUND FLOOR

Kitchen/Dining Room 11’ 10” x 24’
This spacious and versatile room, with its wealth of beams, runs the entire length of the house with nooks and crannies abounding, such that although the length stated above is accurate, the width varies according to which part of the room you are in, which is interesting.

It is approached via a wooden staircase from the reception/piano room.

The kitchen area comprises a generous range of worktops over cupboards below; an inset gas hob and Neff double oven under; an inset stainless steel 1½ bowl sink and drainer, plumbing for the dishwasher, housing for fridge and freezer and a glazed cupboard over further worktops/cupboards. Around a curved corner in a terra cotta tiled alcove out of sight is a small laundry area with plumbing for washing machine and tumble drier. Telephone, TV points and radiators. An Italian tiled window well forms part of the sky light, a wine store and an under-stair storage area house utilities’ meters.

FIRST FLOOR

Landing
A stripped timber floored landing with understair cupboard and open recess provides the landing between the two first floor bedrooms and the attractive painted and enclosed staircase which winds its way from the centre of the ground floor and on up to the second.

His bedroom 16’6” x 15’
An impressive room, with a high partially vaulted ceiling, stripped timber floor, an exposed brick chimney breast and fireplace, overlooks the garden-courtyard.

Ensuite bathroom
The modern bathroom in white is set within a room with a vaulted ceiling, timber framing, decorative recess shelving and an oak floor.
It comprises: a Helo sauna suite in pine, a shower suite with power shower, a Premier seat bath with side access door and shower attachment, a low level close-coupled WC, a multi rail towel rail, pedestal wash basin and hot water radiator.

Her bedroom 14’7” x 14’9”

Ensuite cloakroom
With a low-level close-coupled Saniflo WC, a modern vanity unit with integral cupboards below, and mirror and cupboards above, this little room is decorated with sheet music which, if you have a warped sense of humour and lateral thinking, could give you hours of pleasure.

SECOND FLOOR (ATTIC)

Study 11’10” x 12’
The little winding staircase, mentioned before, has now brought you to the attic.

Estate agents would call this (the first attic space you come to) a possible bedroom 4 and yes, it would take a single bed in one of 2 areas. You would have to judge that one for yourselves.
It does, however, provide a delightful little study, with an old door providing a usefully long built-in desk, a little original casement window long since enclosed within the roof space giving a peep through to the stairwell, a roof window, exposed beams everywhere, fitted carpet and a modern ensuite cloakroom. Broadband connection.

Ensuite Cloakroom 2
A low level close-coupled Saniflo WC, a corner hand basin, fitted carpet and more beams.

Attic Bedroom 3 11’x 12’9’
Everything an attic bedroom should be. A generous alcove houses our 4’ wide bed. A double casement window opens onto views in both directions of the pedestrianised street and the market square. Sloping exposed beamed ceilings , stripped floors, and exposed timbers, power points and telephone point. This dear little bedroom completes the house interior’s description.


*******
EXTERNAL
