Whitstable Road, Faversham

A handsome and surprisingly spacious Victorian residence, with tremendous character and over 1600 sq. ft of generous accommodation, conveniently situated within easy reach of Faversham town centre. Whilst the property could benefit from a degree of updating, it has managed to retain many of its original features and offers buyers an ideal opportunity for renovation. Furthermore, the property's quirky yet flexible first floor layout allows for variety of configurations to suit a buyers individual needs.

The front door opens into an entrance hall, with doors to both reception rooms and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is to the front of the house and is a pleasant and cosy room with high ceilings and a tall bay with sash windows. There are other period features such as picture rails, original storage cupboards and a lovely cast iron fireplace.

The dining room also has picture rails, along with a tall sash window overlooking the garden, exposed floorboards, a large understairs cupboard and a fireplace with a wood burning stove.

The kitchen is to the rear of the property and has a range of wall and floor units, set around wood block work surfaces, a 1� bowl sink and drainer and space for appliances. It also has a fantastic pantry and direct access to the rear garden. Beyond the kitchen, an old latch-key door leads to a useful cloakroom.

On the first floor, a small central landing leads to two good size double bedrooms. The double bedroom at the front of the house has a sash window, exposed floorboards, a cast iron fireplace and also leads through to another bedroom (which is slightly smaller, but could still accommodate a double bed). This room also has a large walk-in wardrobe, which currently connects with a huge master bedroom to the rear of the property, however could potentially be converted into a small en suite (subject to necessary consents).

This vast master bedroom has a cast iron fireplace and a tall sash window overlooking the rear garden. The master bedroom also provides access to the family bathroom and a superb loft conversion (which is currently used as a study). However, as this room is so large, it could potentially be partitioned off to create a separate access to the bathroom or even used as a first floor sitting room, if desired.

OUTSIDE:

There is a small front garden with mature flower and shrub borders, enclosed behind a low level brick wall. The rear garden measures approximately 59 ft and is mainly laid to lawn with mature flower and shrub borders, a wood store, a timber shed and a greenhouse. There is a rear access to the garden, which also allows a right of access for the neighbouring property as well.
