Discovered in historic West Street, just a stone’s throw from Faversham town centre, Iliffe & Iliffe are delighted to bring to market his two bedroom, period cottage. Dating from the 17th century with a later frontage built in the 19th century, the property is Grade II listed and boasts period features throughout. This home is bursting with character!
Accommodation downstairs includes a modest entrance hall, living room and kitchen. Original floorboards and beams run throughout the downstairs space. The living room is a great size, a sash window provides the room with plenty of natural light, whilst the log-burner set in the exposed brick chimney breast makes for a great feature.
The kitchen has a pleasant “country cottage kitchen” feel to it. There is plenty of counter-top and cupboard space and room for a breakfast table. A door leads to the cellar which is currently used for storage and workshop, but could be converted into another reception room or home office.
Upstairs the two bedrooms and bathroom are discovered off the landing. The period floorboards and beams continue upstairs. Both bedrooms are great-sized rooms and include built in storage. The master bedroom is a large double. The second bedroom boasts a mezzanine level – ideal for a home working space or an exciting feature for a children’s bedroom!
Outside, the south facing garden is accessed from the kitchen. The established garden contains trees, a lawn, flowerbeds, a patio area and a shed.
