A delightful Grade II-listed 16th-century end-terrace with rich period character and a small, gated country garden. The house offers two receptions, two double bedrooms and a useful boot/utility with WC — ideal for buyers who appreciate historic detail and village living while wanting scope to update the kitchen and services.
The property is chain free and tucked within easy walking distance of Faversham market square, primary school and countryside walks. Original features include exposed beams, leaded diamond-pane windows with secondary glazing, wood panelling and an imposing exposed brick chimney with a wood-burner. A substantial outbuilding in the garden currently used for storage has clear potential for conversion subject to listed-building and planning consents.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate modernisation. The EPC rating is F and the solid brick walls appear uninsulated — a full survey is recommended. There is a medium flood risk for the area and local crime levels are above average. The plot is small and the overall accommodation is modest at c. 881 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking character rather than large family space.
For families or buyers wanting a period home close to town amenities, this cottage presents a rare historic opportunity. With sympathetic updating and the right permissions, the property could be transformed into a comfortable, characterful home while retaining its original features and village setting.
