Features and description

  • Share of freehold
A rare opportunity to purchase an architect designed property, in this enviably quiet and secluded, yet central position; in a private, secure location, minutes from the market hub of Faversham town and its train station serving three central stations - London St. Pancras, Victoria and Cannon Street.

Faversham is one of Kent’s nicest market towns, with a weekly local farmer’s market and unusually, has mainline direct train connections into three stations in the City of London. Hence, it is ideal for commuting to the city for work, or entertainment events in the Capital. At the same time, it offers an escape from London, to a more peaceful and countryside life. It would also suit a mature couple seeking a quieter life, with all its local amenities to hand, or a professional who still has a need to easily get to London as well as appreciate and benefit from its large and light studio on the top floor.

Plane Tree Court is a secure, private development, built in 2004, found in a quiet, no-through road; offering a tranquil location, overlooking the Church of St. Mary of Charity from the rear of the house. It offers gated and secure parking with one allocated car space and several visitor car parking spaces. The property is in an exclusive development of 7 houses, which very rarely come onto the market. All are built to a high standard with energy efficiency, inherent within their design and construction.

The property is a 4-bedroomed house, set over three storeys and with the top floor having two large sun-terraces as well as a large, light office-space, or design studio, with floor-to-ceiling windows; this would be perfect for the professional seeking to work-from-home, or to set up a gym for yoga space.

It is highly energy-efficient with full LED lighting, double-glazing and a highly efficient Worcester gas combination boiler, connected to a digital controller, which can be programmed by a mobile phone. The kitchen has been updated with all new fittings and features, including underfloor heating and all the bathrooms have been newly re-built. The property is in excellent condition, ready to move into.

The real appeal of the property is its central, yet secluded and private position close to the hub of Faversham market and train station, its openness and very light natural airy feeling; and its stunning top-floor studio with large sun-terraces either side. The top-floor also features sound dampening, laid under its wooden floor, which means it could be used as a library, or a music room, as well as a studio/office. Both large terraces offer the perfect venue for outdoor dining, during the summer months.

As you enter the property you appreciate the light, spacious and welcoming entrance hall. There is a large cloak or storage room subtly positioned inside, for coats etc. The hallway has a downstairs toilet (newly re-built) and an entrance into the kitchen, or double-doors that lead through to the large and very light open-plan living and dining space. Downstairs, the kitchen is perfect for a keen cook, with a double bosch oven and 5-ring gas hob, as well as a tall, very high energy efficiency LG fridge-freezer, new dishwasher and a programmable, highly energy-efficient LG washing machine. It also offers a full-sized pull-out larder and plenty of storage, behind colour co-ordinated units. The surfaces are solid wood and are well maintained.

Through the kitchen leads into a large open-plan living space with French-doors opening onto an intimate courtyard space. Overhead lighting above the long dining table provides an intimate atmosphere for suppers and a large enough space for seating 8 guests for dinner parties.

Back to the hallway, the stairs lead up to a first-floor landing which offers three double bedrooms and a new family bathroom. The main bedroom spans across the entire rear of the house, with twin, double windows and lovely views over the churchyard. It is extremely quiet and very peaceful.

The hallway, stairs and upstairs landing have been re-carpeted and re-painted as brand new. Each of the bathrooms feature a “rain” shower overhead for a more luxurious shower experience, with LED lit mirrors and brand new tiling. The ensuite features a non-slip floor shower tray. The toilets are all new, water efficient, dual flushes. The washbasins are brand new also, with mixer ‘waterfall’ taps.

The 2nd double bedroom is substantial in size and has carefully crafted built-in double sized storage cupboard for clothes and coats. It will easily a full sized double bed, wardrobe and a small desk in. The 3rd double bedroom on the first floor will also fit a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers.

Upstairs to the top floor is the 4th bedroom - currently in use as a large and very light office/studio. This room features floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed, tinted windows on both sides (front and rear facing) with access through doors to a substantial front and rear sun deck. The front is South-facing and receives direct sun throughout the day; the rear overlooks the trees and grounds of the beautiful St Mary of Charity Church Parish Church with its stunning and unique church steeple, there is a feeling of being in the rural countryside; and yet you are so close to the hub of the market and local shops, pubs and restaurants and of course, station.

Faversham is a medieval market town with buildings dating back to the 1500s and 1600s, regularly used as a shoot location for films. It offers a bustling market, farm shops for local produce, a quaint, digital cinema showing recent releases, parklands and a swimming pool with its own outdoor lido.

Faversham is also the home of Shepherd Neame (Britain’s oldest brewery), with several pubs a short walk away. Indeed, Sir Bob Geldof has indeed made Faversham his home for over 30 years. There is excellent walking by the sea marshes nearby and superb routes for cycling and the South Downs Way close by.

Faversham is only a 10 minute train ride to the famous seaside town of Whitstable, or the historic cathedral city of Canterbury. Margate and Deal on the North Kent Coast are a relatively short drive. For ‘foodies’, the local farm produce available in town and in the market, plus the choice of nearby restaurants and gastropubs is superb. The Michelin-starred “Sportsman” is not far away in nearby Seasalter and regularly features as one of the UK’s best restaurants (referenced by National Press).

The Property is offered with a Share of Freehold, as all Residents own the Management Company which is responsible for the collective Freehold for the whole development and its maintenance.
