The property occupies five acres of grounds which includes a gated driveway, several paddocks, a fruit orchard and a native woodland copse. It is set within a rural location just over a mile to the market town of Faversham.
The property has been with the current owners for over 25 years, who have lovingly restored and enhanced the property using natural materials and fine craftmanship which flourishes throughout. Rich oak flooring and wood burning stoves have been installed in the snug and sitting room, whilst a brand-new high specification kitchen has been fitted in the oak framed vaulted extension, there are two new luxury bathrooms, and every window has been replaced with hardwood, double glazed sashes. The facade is a delightful mix of larch weatherboarding, and pale render whilst the front door sits central and opens into an entrance hall with quarry tiled flooring and modern cloakroom.
To the right of the hallway there is a magnificent oak framed vaulted kitchen dining room, with extensive glazing which frames the views of the paddocks. This forms the extension added in 2017, the space is spectacular and a lovely contrast to the older part of the cottage, a minimalistic Roma kitchen with Corian stone work tops integrates many Neff appliances.
The kitchen is complemented by a beautifully appointed utility room, which was the original kitchen, there is an array of units finished with oak work tops and a butler sink, bespoke shelving and seating storage has been arranged whilst the original stove and bread oven are featured in the fireplace. The downstairs space is further enhanced by two additional reception rooms one used as a snug, the other a sitting room, both are fitted with oak flooring and wood burning stoves.
To the first floor one will find three bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom which has a luxury suite comprising of a separate bath and shower and finished with porcelain tiles. The main bedroom has dual aspect views, an en-suite shower room, and is finished with intricate panelling and bespoke fitted wardrobes. To the second floor one will find an additional bedroom and separate office, both with superb views of the countryside.
