Iliffe & Iliffe are delighted to bring to market this five bedroom, period family home. Lion Lodge is a delightful Grade II listed, double fronted property. Boasting three reception rooms, a cellar and large garden, this property has a lot to offer a new owner.
On entering the property you are greeted by the welcoming entrance hall which runs the length of the house. A door to your left as you enter the property leads into one of the reception rooms. This well proportioned room offers a variety of uses to fit a new owner’s requirements. The current owner has used the room as playroom, but it could also serve as an additional living room, home office or formal dining room. Towards the rear of the property there is another living room and the large kitchen. The kitchen includes plenty of cupboards and counters, space for appliances and room for a breakfast table. A door leads from the kitchen into a large reception space which is currently used as an open plan living/ dining room. There is also a downstairs cloakroom with lavatory. Many attractive period features exist throughout the property and plenty of windows give the downstairs a light and airy feel. Stairs lead to a cellar which offers easily accessible storage and the potential to be converted to another use.
Upstairs the five bedrooms, family bathroom and additional shower room are discovered off the landing. All of the bedrooms are light and spacious. Four of the bedrooms are generously sized double rooms, whilst the fifth is a large single room. The family bathroom has been renovated to compliment the period of the property and includes; roll top bath, lavatory, wash basin and heated towel rail. The additional shower room ensures that there are plenty of facilities for the whole family and includes; shower, lavatory and wash basin.
Outside, there is a drive to the side of the property providing off-street parking for at least two cars. A large garage offers an additional parking space, as well as separate storage towards the rear of the garage. The large garden is the hidden gem of the property, providing plenty of outdoor space. The garden has also been intentionally landscaped to be low-maintenance – allowing a new owner to enjoy this great outdoor space with friends and family without too much effort. However, if a new owner was green-fingered and wanted to create their perfect country garden, this garden would make the perfect canvass on which to do so. Views at the rear of the property overlook fields and allotments.
To summarise, this period family home, bursting with character and offering plenty of both indoor and outdoor space perfectly blends living near both the convenience of town and tranquility of country. Just a short walk from the property you find yourself immersed in the Kent countryside.
Faversham’s bustling, historic town centre is just a 18 minute walk or three minute drive from Ospringe Street. Faversham mainline railway station is 20 minutes on foot or four 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.
