Iliffe & Iliffe are delighted to introduce to market Bridge House - a five bedroom Grade II listed family home situated in a commanding position, overlooking picturesque Faversham creek and just a short walk from Faversham’s medieval town centre. Coming to market for the first time in decades, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique property, in a great location and with masses of potential for a new owner to introduce this house to its next chapter - creating the perfect family home. With well proportioned rooms throughout, five bedrooms, three reception rooms and a generously sized garden for a town centre home, there is ample opportunity and flexibility to create the perfect home. This property comes to market with no onward chain.

Approaching the wisteria adorned, double-fronted property through an iron gate, you enter through the solid wood front door into the welcoming entrance hall. Immediately to your left and right off the entrance hall are two of the three reception rooms. Both rooms are generously sized with dual aspect windows flooding the rooms with natural light and include fireplaces. Previously one has been used as a living room, and the other as a drawing room. One of the reception rooms include a set of French doors that lead into the garden. The other enjoys views across Faversham Creek and of the spire of St Mary’s of Charity Parish Church - an icon of the Faversham skyline.

Moving further down the entrance hall, the dining room is found to the right. Similar to the other reception rooms, the dining room is generously proportioned and includes a fireplace. The room also boasts period built in storage and the same impressive views as the aforementioned sitting room. The kitchen is located to the other side of the entrance hall and includes hob, double oven, plenty of cupboard and counter top space and a Butler’s sink - complimenting the age of the home. A doorway leads from the kitchen into a large utility room, off which there is a downstairs cloakroom with lavatory. A door also leads from the utility room into the garden.

Stairs lead from the entrance hall to the first floor. Arriving upstairs, onto the spacious landing, you find four of the five bedrooms. The large principal bedroom is situated towards the front of the property and enjoys dual aspect views through original sash windows of Faversham creek and the town centre skyline. The second and third bedrooms are generously sized double rooms. Bedroom three retains period built-in storage and fireplace. Bedroom four is another double room with fireplace, situated off the main landing. Past bedroom four there is a family bathroom and separate lavatory. Bedroom five is a single room, situated between bedrooms one and two at the front of the property. The size and location of this room does present the opportunity to convert the room into a dressing room or en-suite bathroom to serve the principal bedroom.

Outside, Bridge House boasts a generously sized garden - ideal for spending time outside with friends and family during the warmer months of the year. The garden provides plenty of opportunity for a new owner to create their dream garden. Detached from the house is a large double garage. Offering some fantastic storage space or off-street parking, the garage also presents the opportunity for conversion to a home office or studio (subject to any necessary planning approvals). There is off-street parking in front of the garage, as well as plenty of additional on-street parking around the locality.

Faversham’s bustling, historic town centre is just a four minute walk from Bridge House. Faversham mainline railway station is a 13 minute walk, with services to London St Pancras / Kings Cross, Victoria and Cannon Street 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.
