The Street, Boughton-under-Blean, Faversham, ME13

An immensely appealing fusion of period charm and sociable living spaces resulting in a truly fantastic house. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A welcoming and thoroughly appealing period home presented for sale in excellent condition having benefitted from considerable improvement in recent years. The property comprises approximately 2250 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over three floors situated in a highly versatile way with provision for four bedrooms, two bathrooms and four reception rooms with scope for home working in a variety of rooms.

Outside is a garage, wonderfully planted and landscaped garden and a large outbuilding/workshop.


Constructed in c 1840 and formally the village Bakery, The Old Bakery is a most impressive family home of comfortable proportions and conveniently located in the centre of the village.
As the photographs show, the house has been thoughtfully restored following an extensive programme of works, now showcasing a number of sympathetic yet clever design features.
Arguably the principal feature of the house is the large open plan kitchen/diner, connected to a cosy snug. Bifold doors extend the room further out into the garden and a sleek kitchen blends well with the more historic features of the house such as exposed brick and parquet flooring, timber panelled walls and a log burning stove set into a feature fireplace in the snug.
Throughout the house there are many interesting and eye catching details that add to the ambiance and appeal. Stained glass windows, original doors and fittings, exposed timbers and wood panelling are all in excellent order.
With the street facing shopfront window intact, and currently used as an art studio, this space is most suitable for home working or possibly business use, subject to the relevant permissions.
Outside, the garden is commensurate with the standard of the house. An attractive brick path extends from the main patio to the workshop at the far end. Bursting with mature plants and shrubs, this thoughtfully populated garden is a riot of colour in the warmer months.
With so much on offer, viewing really is necessary to appreciate the home in its entirety.
