Located in the sought after Water Lane, Faversham, this exquisite, detached home offers charm and character aplenty.
Originally dating back to the 18th century, with an early 19th century rendered front elevation, the Grade II listed house has been lovingly looked after and well maintained, and offers the comforts of modern living whilst retaining many features, including sash windows, fireplaces, ceiling beams and restored wooden floorboards.
Upon entering the hallway you will find the staircase to the first floor, and above your head, the enchanting 'Minstrel Gallery' with its large window to allow natural light to flood in.
A wood burning stove set in a large exposed fireplace presents a stunning focal point to the spacious living room at the front. The dining room also overlooks the front garden, with door leading to the kitchen/breakfast room.
A range of units and shelving are fitted along two walls of the kitchen, with double oven, hob and sink accommodated beautifully. The kitchen provides ample space for table and chairs. To the rear you will find a handy utility room which also incorporates the cloakroom WC, along with a porch, accessing the garden - an ideal place for somewhere to store your boots after walks along the many nearby country pathways.
The double aspect sitting room to the rear of the home boasts another stove with marble fireplace, and overlooks the rear garden.
To the first floor are 4 double bedrooms, the master with the advantage of door access to the minstrel balcony - a perfect space for a spot of quiet reading. Bedroom 3 is currently used as an office/work space and includes a fitted sink.
The bathroom is fully tiled and encompasses the bath, basin, WC and separate step in shower.
Set back from the lane, the house boasts a lawned front garden, with established shrubbery to offer privacy and security.
A long driveway leads to a gated area, to offer more parking, and to the detached double garage with workshop to the rear.
The walled 65x50ft garden benefits from a westerly aspect, and provides privacy and seclusion. The patio and pergola areas, overlooking the lawn with its mature fruit trees and vegetable bed, offer the perfect space for alfresco dining or entertaining.
Water Lane is located just a 15 minute walk from the town centre and the train station, and close to the popular Ospringe Primary School.
Faversham offers a great range of individual shops, primary and secondary schools, including a high speed train service to London. Close to the A2 and M2 motorways, so just a short drive to the City of Canterbury, the local beaches and the countryside.
