House For Sale £600,000
1 Lorenden Cottages is a pretty semi-detached cottage on the edge of the popular village of Painters Forstal, located amongst glorious countryside just to the south of Faversham. The setting is further enhanced by Lorenden Park, a wonderful amenity gifted for use by the community and to ensure the preservation of the historic parkland and its wildlife.
Probably built in the early 1900s, the cottage provides a characterful and handsome family home. The entrance hall, with a lofty ceiling and stairs rising to the first floor, has a useful cloakroom/laundry room set off it. The generous reception space provides an open plan sitting room, arranged around a wood-burning stove and a dining room. This flows in to a good sized kitchen/breakfast room with French doors to the garden. The kitchen has plenty of space for a table and there is a utility room/boot room with a door leading outside. Together these spaces provide a fantastic and practical family living area.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and enjoys a south-easterly aspect. There are two further bedrooms, one with a cast-iron fireplace, and they share a family bathroom. From this level, there are beautiful views across open countryside with unexpected sea glimpses in the far distance.<br /><br />The property is set well back behind a five bar gate and picket fence. There is ample parking and an electric car charging point on the generous gravel drive to the front of the garage. A wrought iron gate set in a brick wall between the house and garage leads to the gardens to the side and rear of the house. These are well fenced and laid to lawn with a large terrace adjoining the house.
The garage is a useful building. With a WC and a room on the first floor, the space has great potential.<br /><br />Painters Forstal is a semi-rural village in the Swale district of Kent, which offers a local public house and a wealth of walking opportunities at Lorenden Park; it is also home to the well-regarded Lorenden Preparatory School.
The village lies to the south of the ancient market town of Faversham, with its picturesque lanes, boutique shops, regular market and choice of restaurants, whilst the historic cathedral city of Canterbury is within easy reach offering a good range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities.
On the north Kent coast, the traditional seaside town of Whitstable affords visitors with an array of independent shops, bars, and restaurants. Mainline rail services are available in Faversham, offering easy access to London St Pancras and road-users are close to the junctions with the M2, which links to the major road networks. The area has good access to the Continent.
