Property description

Four bedroom end of terrace victorian home!

No onward chain! Miles and Barr are delighted to be offering to the market this substantial period family home situated on Newton Road in Faversham. Located just a stone’s throw from the mainline train station, and within a 5 minute walk to the historic market square. The current owner has lived at the property for in excess of twenty years and has sympathetically maintained the home. There are original floors, high ceilings, fireplaces, cornicing and ceiling roses throughout, but a real feature is the double glazed sash windows which have been installed in recent years.

As you enter the property you are greeted by an entrance hall with the stairs in front. On the left hand side is the lounge, with a bay window which fills the room with light. Further along the hall is the second reception room which is currently laid out as a dining room, complete with a log burner. This room provides access to the lean-to which is a very useful extra space, but offers potential for further incorporation, potentially extending the kitchen, subject to relevant consents and approvals. At the end of the entrance hallway is the kitchen which is a great size, and offers ample cupboard and worktop space. Finally, at the rear of the ground floor is the main family bathroom with a three piece bath suite and shower overhead.

On the first floor you will find three bedrooms, all of which would be considered of at least a small double in size. If the maximum number of bedrooms is not needed, then a possible option would be to convert the back bedroom on this floor to another bathroom. The principal bedroom at the front of the property is a fantastic size, and offers two windows and a feature fireplace. There is also a separate WC and an airing cupboard on this floor. Finally there is a staircase which leads you up to the attic room. At the top of the stairs is a door leading into the eaves storage, before you then turn into the second bedroom, which features a lovely brick feature wall with chimney feature. The property also features a fantastic cellar which is accessed from the entrance hall on the ground floor. It offers good head height in excess of 6ft and is currently used a workshop, but could easily be converted into a number of different options to suit any prospective purchasers needs.

Externally there is side access straight into the garden from a passage leading to Solomon’s Lane. The walled rear garden has been beautifully landscaped by the current owner, with flower beds and block paved walkways, as well a lovely bistro seating area. There is also a shed for storage.
