4 bedroom bungalow for sale

A unique 4 bedroom detached bungalow tucked away off the ashford road and set in pretty grounds of about A third of an acre, backing onto countryside to the rear. Offered with great potential and scope for further improvement if required.

We understand this property has its origins dating from around 1900 when it started life as part of a row of farm workers' cottages. In later years it was divided off to form a detached single storey dwelling of solid wall construction under a concrete flat roof, later still a tiled and pitched roof was added for aesthetic reasons. It now offers 4 bedrooms and 2 receptions, having been extended by the present owner who has lived here for over thirty years. It sits well back from the Ashford road in a plot of around a third of an acre, backing onto farmland. There is off road parking and plenty of space at the side to build a dirveway and potentially a garage subject to planning. The property is located in the hamlet of North Street in Sheldwich, about 2.5 miles to the south of Faversham.

Faversham is one of England’s most historic and charming towns, nestling between the rural delights of the Kent Downs and the beauty of its coastal wetlands. This picturesque market town has nearly 500 listed buildings, dates from pre-Roman times and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. This is a bustling place with a fine range of independent shops, supermarkets and recreational pursuits. There is excellent schooling across all age ranges and abilities, including the highly rated Queen Elizabeth Grammar school. There is also a well favoured primary school at Sheldwich.

The property is about two minutes drive from the M2 and Faversham mainline station with regular commuter services to London (Victoria/Cannon Street and St Pancras HS1), Canterbury and the coast.
