An exciting opportunity to purchase a piece of Faversham's rich history.
Ideal for commuters, downsizers, or as a second home, this characterful mid-Victorian house is set in the ever-popular Preston Malthouse development, only a 3-minute walk from Faversham's mainline station and town centre, and a stone’s throw from ‘The Rec’ – 20 acres of parkland with sports facilities, children’s playgrounds and a café.
The accommodation is on 4 levels, with a basement kitchen/diner; 2 reception rooms on the ground floor; 2 bedrooms and wet room on the 1st floor; and a 3rd bedroom on the 2nd floor, plus ample eaves storage area. Some renovation – mainly decorative – is required.
The property has a compact front garden but no rear garden, making it very low-maintenance long term. There's also a charming small communal garden. Private off-road parking is included, with additional (shared) parking for visitors.
This is a home with lots of potential, and should be viewed at your earliest convenience.
Faversham has excellent transport connections to country, coast and capital, including a high-speed rail link into London St Pancras. The surrounding countryside is perfect pub-walk territory, with a multitude of trails leading you through Kent’s varied scenery, from the heights of the Kent Downs to the seashore, through ancient woodlands and orchards to breathtaking marshes & nature reserves along the Saxon Shore Way.
Faversham is proud of its rich past, with more than 500 listed buildings, the oldest local-produce market in Kent and a history dating back to pre-Roman times, not to mention its long tradition of brewing – the Shepherd Neame brewery was established here in 1698. It was Shepherd Neame who, in 1858, built Preston Maltings, to convert barley into malt for brewing beer. Nearly 130 years later the complex was cleverly converted for residential use, including the only original house in the courtyard – the house where the ‘Maltster’ once lived – No 1, Preston Malthouse.
