Description

SUMMARY
A great opportunity to add your own stamp on a home in a highly sought after location in central Faversham. In need of updating throughout, the property also enjoys a spacious rear garden and easy access to town and main line train station


DESCRIPTION
A wonderful home, full of history and character. The home is an ideal project in need of refurbishment throughout and a great opportunity to add your stamp and make it your own.

The home opens in to a lounge area with brick chimney and fire place leading through to the kitchen. The kitchen has some units and space for oven and fridge, but would benefit from a refit and update. There is a door to the basement area, ideal for storage.

The first floor is accessed via a lovely bespoke, wooden stair case leasing to two bedrooms, the main bedroom with an original fire place. There is a bathroom, again in need of updating, currently consisting of a bath, basin and WC. The loft room is usable, currently accessed by a ladder so does offer potential for a third bedroom.

Further features to the home include electric storage heating throughout, a rear garden and being within walking distance of Faversham's market town centre, superstores and main line train station.

This property is offered through Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid your data will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold Limited. This method requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days, allowing buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey).

The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6600.00 including VAT.

Buyers will be required to complete an identification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded.

The property has a Buyer Information Pack containing documents about the property.
