" A STUNNING CONVERSION OF A 16th CENTURY BARN SET IN 1 ACRE including a tennis court. Offering country views yet just on the rural outskirts of Faversham within easy reach of the town, station and A2/M2. It offers very spacious accommodation including 2 large receptions, a superb kitchen/breakfast room, 4 or 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Many character features throughout.

Bedroom
The present owners converted this large attached barn some 18 years ago for their own occupation and it has provided a very spacious and well loved family home since. The barn is believed to date from the 16th century and many of the fine timbers are now exposed with some exposed brickwork and a large inglenook style fireplace. An impressive central oak staircase has been added within a stunning vaulted and galleried entrance hall. The ground floor includes 2 large receptions and a very spacious kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a family room which could also be used as a 5th bedroom; an adjacent laundry room and downstairs wc could potentially be used to provide annexe potential. Upstairs there are 4 further bedrooms, 2 of which have en-suite facilities, and a large family bathroom. Outside the south facing grounds extend to about 1 acre and comprise well kept gardens and a fenced all-weather tennis court. There are panoramic views over farmland to the rear.

Location:
Set in a small complex of country properties off a country lane on the rural outskirts of Faversham less than 1.5 miles from the centre of town and mainline station and just a short drive from the A2. M2 and Thanet Way.

Faversham is one of England?+?s most historic and charming towns, nestling between the rural delights of the Kent Downs and the beauty of its coastal wetlands. This picturesque market town has nearly 500 listed buildings, dates from pre-Roman times and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. This is a bustling place with a fine range of independent shops, supermarkets and recreational pursuits. There is excellent schooling across all age ranges and abilities, including the highly rated Queen Elizabeth Grammar school.

Faversham has a mainline station with regular commuter services to London (Victoria/Cannon Street and St Pancras HS1), Canterbury and the coast, making it easily accessible.
