Iliffe & Iliffe are delighted to bring to market this Victorian, three bedroom, family home discovered in sought after Briton Road. Just a short walk from Faversham town centre and mainline railway station, as well as sitting in the catchment area for two Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding’ primary schools, this property has a lot to offer a new owner. The house has been renovated from top to bottom by the current owners, who have thoughtfully re-introduced period features throughout to bring the property back to its former glory. With both an attic and a cellar conversion, the property boasts plenty of living space.
Approaching the property through the iron gate, you enter through the recently fitted period front door. The welcoming entrance hall, living room and dining room include exposed original floorboards. The living room, found to your right, includes; a new sash bay window, which floods the room with natural light, period style radiator, coving, ceiling rose and functioning wood burner – perfect for the cosy evenings indoors during the cooler months. The dining room has been opened up into the kitchen to create a perfect space for both family life and entertaining friends. The recently fitted kitchen has plenty of cupboard space and counter tops created from reclaimed oak. A downstairs cloakroom with lavatory and wash basin is found at the rear of the property. A useful utility room is situated off the kitchen, with fitted counters and cupboards, as well as space for appliances. The rear garden is accessed off through the utility room.
The cellar has been tanked, re-decorated and would make a fantastic home office, playroom or additional reception space. French doors into the lightwell and clever conversion of the former coal chute into a window provide more natural light than one usually finds in a cellar. As already mentioned, the approved planning application includes permission to convert the cellar into a fourth bedroom.
Upstairs, bedroom two and three, and the family bathroom are discovered on the first floor. Bedroom two, a large double room at the front of the property, boasts new sash windows, exposed floorboards, period style radiators and an original feature fireplace that the current owner has installed to return the property to some of its original charm. Bedroom three is another generously sized double room. The recently fitted bathroom comprises shower, lavatory, roll-top bath and a bespoke wash basin set into a piece of period furniture to create a unique vanity unit.
The largest bedroom is found upstairs in the attic conversion. The room is flooded with light thanks to a large Velux window. Plenty of cupboard space has been retained in the eaves of the roof, creating easily accessible storage.
Outside, the rear garden includes two patios, a lawn area, established trees and plants, a shed and rear access through a gate into the garden – as well as retaining some original brick walls. The garden makes for the perfect space to enjoy time outside with friends and family.
Faversham’s bustling, historic town centre is a five minute walk from Briton Road. Faversham mainline railway station is four minutes on foot or two minutes by car, with services to London St Pancras, Canon Street and Victoria stations taking just over an hour.
Faversham town centre is full of independent retailers, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a popular market held three days a week. Held under the iconic Guildhall; Faversham Market is believed to be the oldest in Kent, having been recorded in the Domesday book in 1086.
Faversham is steeped in history with its oldest building dating back to 1234. A lot of Faversham’s character comes from its charming architecture with buildings surviving from the medieval, Georgian and Victorian periods, through to the present day. The town is also home to Britain’s oldest brewery – Shepherd Neame.
The town contains several both ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rated schools at both primary and secondary level.
