This luxury apartment is set in a grand mansion believed to date from the early 1600s and which was converted into apartments in the 1980s. The current owner has renovated the apartment in liaison with Abode Renovation Faversham Ltd, who specialise in the restoration of Grade I listed properties. Offering over 1, 400 sq ft of spacious, light filled accommodation, the apartment has been sensitively updated using traditional materials, to combine modern living with character features, including high ceilings and sash windows. The private south facing patio is the only one in the grounds, and is an ideal space for summer entertaining.

The ground floor accommodation flows from an entrance hall with feature exposed brickwork that leads to a most impressive open-plan sitting/dining room/kitchen with French doors to a private south facing terrace. Seamless wooden flooring, triple aspect views, wooden panelling and a wood-burning stove add to the charm and unique design of this space. The kitchen has integrated appliances, Shaker style cabinets and a peninsular breakfast bar. The accommodation at this level is completed by two bright and well-presented bedrooms with large sash windows, and a stylish monochrome bathroom.

The first floor presents a characterful principal bedroom with exposed timbers and a stylish en suite bathroom with Catchpole and Rye fittings, including a roll top bath and copper and marble accents.

The property is situated in the pretty village of Sheldwich Lees in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has an Ofsted “Outstanding” primary school, a cricket ground, an active village hall and church. There is easy access to the M2 (Junction 6) and to Ebbsfleet International, which offers High Speed trains to London St Pancras as well as Eurostar services.

Faversham has a well-regarded grammar school and a mainline railway station providing commuter services to London. Canterbury provides for cultural interests and offers an excellent shopping centre, highly regarded schools, colleges and two universities.

The Mansion House is approached from a long, sweeping, tree-lined driveway and is located within 15 acres of maintained grounds including tennis courts, a heated swimming pool, private garaging and parking.

The beautiful surrounding gardens includes courtyards with mature trees, flower beds, pathways and topiary shrubs to enjoy. The apartment benefits from a south facing patio accessed off the dining area.
