Description

SUMMARY
A Beautiful and Spacious home. Set over 3 floors with Period Features and High Ceilings. Close to town, Station and Local Schools. 5 Bedrooms, Renovated Bathroom and Loft Shower Room. Private and Peaceful Rear Garden with Access.


DESCRIPTION
This incredibly spacious property would make an ideal family home, also offering space suited to working from home and/or enjoying visiting guests. Full of character with friendly neighbours, in a popular area in the heart of Faversham.

The current owners have recently renovated both the bathroom and shower room, as well as 4 bedrooms, to an exceptional standard. Some decorating is needed in the hallway and some living areas however the home is already very welcoming and anyone can easily see the potential for the finished spaces.

New windows at the front allow light to stream in throughout the day and recently installed French doors connect the living space to the Garden.

Parking is available outside the property in the evenings and Sundays. Ample parking is available on all surrounding roads.

The garden gets the sun all year round, with a dining area at the top for enjoying the summer evening sun. There is a gate for private access, and although you are in the centre of town, it's a relaxing and peaceful space.

This home would be perfect for anyone who commutes, being only a very short walk from Faversham's train station with its mainline services into London. It is also within the catchment area of the sought-after Ethelbert Primary School.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
