Situated on East Street, close the centre of the medieval market town of Faversham; Iliffe & Iliffe are delighted to bring to market Abbey House, an impressive four bedroom home. Originally built in 1879 as civic building for the town, the property has been through many chapters of different uses throughout history, before being converted to a home in 2022. The current owner has meticulously renovated the property throughout and to the highest standard, to create this amazing home. Through the renovation many period features have been re-introduced to the property that had been lost decades ago. This building has been truly returned to its former glory, whilst creating a modern and comfortable home.
On approaching the property through the electric gate, behind which there is off-street parking for two cars - you are greeted by the grand front door, with Faversham’s coat of arms above. Through the door, you first enter a vestibule with plenty of space for coats and shoes. Through a set of glazed doors you enter the grand, yet welcoming entrance hall. The tiled floor and paneled walls of the entrance hall lead right through the home. To either side as you enter the hallway are the two principal reception rooms. Both large rooms with 12 foot high ceilings, they are impressive spaces. Despite their size they do have a strong sense of comfort. The large windows flood the rooms with natural light creating the perfect spaces to spend time with friends and family. One of the rooms is currently used as a living room and includes a log-burner - perfect for the cooler evenings of autumn and winter. The other room is currently used as a gym, although no permanent alterations have been made to the room to create the gym. The room could immediately be used as another reception room, formal dining room, games room or additional living room.
Continuing through the property we discover the home office. This room could be used as another reception room. The current owner uses the room as a study, but also as a reception space. The perfect setting to spend evenings with friends before or after dinner. This room also boasts a log-burner. On the other side of the hallway there is a useful utility room, with fitted cupboards and counters, as well as plenty of space for appliances. A door at the end of the hall way leads into another hall - off-which there is a downstairs cloakroom with lavatory and wash-basin, the large kitchen/diner, door to the cellar and the main staircase that leads to the upstairs of the property. The large cellar mirrors most of the front of the property and offers some great storage space, as well as space for a wine cellar.
The large kitchen/diner offers a great open-plan space to spend time with friends and family. The contemporary kitchen has been carefully designed to include copious amounts of cupboard and counter-top space, integrated appliances, including a wine fridge and range style cooker, as well as a walk in pantry. Altogether making a great space to prepare meals and cook. Large sash windows flood the space with natural light. Doors lead from the kitchen into the garden.
Upstairs, there are four large double bedrooms. Bedroom two towards the rear of the property makes a great guest suite, with views of the spire of Faversham Parish Church and its own large en-suite. At the top of the stairs there is a walk-in dressing room and cloakroom with lavatory and wash basin. Bedrooms three and four are served by a large family bathroom with shower over bath, lavatory and wash-basin. The principal bedroom suite is really impressive. The large double room boasts a separate walk-in wardrobe and dressing room and a very generously sized en-suite. The en-suite comprises; shower, twin sinks, lavatory and a large free-standing roll-top bath in the centre of the room.
Outside, the walled garden offers the perfect quiet space to spend time outside during the warmer months. A decked area offers a lovely spot for al-fresco dining. The garden also includes a lawn, flowerbeds, shed and a bin-store - shielded from view. A gate at the end of the garden provides external access.
Overall, Abbey House offers comfortable modern living with everything Faversham has to offer right on the doorstep. Recently renovated, this almost new home blends modern life with this incredible period building in a sympathetic and carefully thought-out way.
Faversham’s bustling, historic town centre is just a three minute walk from Abbey House. Faversham mainline railway station is eight minutes on foot, with services to London St Pancras, Canon Street and Victoria stations taking just over an hour.
Faversham town centre is full of independent retailers, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a popular market held three days a week. Held under the iconic Guildhall; Faversham Market is believed to be the oldest in Kent, having been recorded in the Domesday book in 1086.
Faversham is steeped in history with its oldest building dating back to 1234. A lot of Faversham’s character comes from its charming architecture with buildings surviving from the medieval, Georgian and Victorian periods, through to the present day. The town is also home to Britain’s oldest brewery – Shepherd Neame.
The town contains several both ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rated schools at both primary and secondary level, including the Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School just a short walk from the property. Canterbury, just twenty minutes away and offers a number of public schools.
