Bath/Shower room
This chain free, one bedroom, 2nd floor, apartment, situated in the popular William Gibbs Court complex (for over 55s), close to Faversham town centre, offers the new owner the independence of their own home with the added comfort of warden assistance if required. A good range of in-house amenities include a secure entry system, reception desk, communal lounge, garden, parking, laundry room and guest rooms.
The spacious entrance hall benefits from two great sized storage cupboards.
A large window ensures the lounge is flooded with natural light, and the room is large enough for a small table and chairs, as well as living room furniture. The kitchen area leads from the lounge for convenience. The built-in electric oven/hob and fridge freezer are included in the sale, as is the free standing washing machine.
Newly fitted carpets are in the lounge and the bright, airy double bedroom, which also has the advantage of built in double wardrobes.
The fully tiled bathroom consists of step in shower, basin and WC.
Location
William Gibbs Court is in one of the most sought-after retirement developments in the historic Town of Faversham, being highly regarded as a safe and secure location, and just a few minutes walk from town centre, Recreation Park and the railway station, with its fast track service to London.
The City of Canterbury is a short drive away, as are the local beaches and the beautiful Kent countryside.
