Description
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.
