Detached house for sale in Abbey Street, Faversham ME13

A rare find in such a sought-after and desirable location with a five minute walk to the centre of the market town of Faversham. Iliffe & Iliffe are delighted to bring to market this attractive, detached Grade II listed four-bedroom detached home. The property is steeped in history and has a wealth of charm and character.

We understand from the owner that the property was originally two cottages, with the ground floor stone walls believed to have formed part of the inner gatehouse of the 12th century Abbey. The upper floors are weather boarded under a traditional Kent peg tiled roof.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors. On the ground floor there is an open-plan lounge, dining room and kitchen. There is an unusual split staircase to the first floor where there are two bedrooms, a Jack and Jill bathroom, a shower room and utility/laundry room (this could easily be converted into a study). On the second floor there are two further double bedrooms each accessed by its own staircase.

Externally, the rear walled garden is laid to lawn with flower borders, mature trees, a shed and a hot tub.
The property overlooks a small green and has many appealing features including exposed beams and cast iron stoves set in brick alcoves.

Abbey Street is extremely sought after and is one of the most prestigious addresses in Faversham, with a number of historic and listed buildings lining the street.
