This traditional mid-terrace cottage offers a compact, practical layout across two floors — 628 sq ft of living space with two double bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen/diner with utility and a rear garden. Set in the attractive village of Oare, it lies about 1.3 miles from Faversham town centre with good local amenities and strong transport and digital connectivity.
Well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor, the house is freehold and economical to run (cheap council tax). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed though installation date is unknown. The property retains period brick character and a traditional feel but will reward some updating to modern standards.
Notable positives include a good-size rear garden for the setting, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and proximity to well-regarded schools and Faversham’s market and independent shops. The location offers village calm with easy access to town facilities.
Buyers should be aware this is a Victorian solid-brick property likely without wall insulation, constructed before 1900, and described as in need of modernization in places. The plot is small, and the interior rooms are compact — ideal for those seeking a manageable home to personalise rather than a large family house.
At £250,000, the house presents an accessible entry point into the area for someone happy to carry out cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements.
