Lees Court Road, Sheldwich Lees, Faversham, Kent, ME13

Period homes like this are prized for their charm, and this one certainly delivers but also has one of the best garden plots I have seen for some time, -- Adam Howell

#TheGardenOfEngland

A characterful and thoroughly enchanting cottage with extensive parking and sensational large gardens in an idyllic village position just off The Lees, offered for sale with no onward chain.

A quintessential country home, once two cottages and later reconfigured into one larger property, rich with features including exposed beams, floorboards, and a striking central fireplace, and superbly positioned to the village green where you can watch the local cricket fixtures from the comfort of your own garden.

Nicely concealed from the road behind secure gates and mature hedgerows, the house has significant kerb appeal and offers everything you would hope to find in a property of this nature.

A bright kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga range cooker spans the width of the home and steps directly out onto the patio for outdoor dining and entertaining across the summer months, with a handy utility and cloakroom to the rear. The main sitting room is splendid place to relax and unwind in front of the fire, with a further separate dining room for more formal get togethers.

The original cellar has been professionally converted into a bedroom which has full head height and its own exposed recessed feature fireplace plus a good deal of natural light. Two further double bedrooms on the first floor are complimented by an oversize bathroom suite, again very much in keeping with the style of the property incorporating a claw foot bath, enclosed shower cubicle, and wood panelling, there is also useful eaves storage space on this floor alongside built in storage space.

In terms of outside space this home really is a rare gem, the extensive and mature plot runs adjacent to the road at the front and wraps around the home to the side and the rear, a large detached outbuilding can be utilised as a workshop or for more specific hobbies, but could potentially be reconfigured for alternative uses, the gardens are arranged in sections to include lawned spaces, a pool, planting areas, and a fabulous range of fruit trees and shrubs.

Sheldwich Lees is a beautiful part of the Kent Countryside with much of the parish laying within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the property is pleasantly tucked away just beside the village green.

There are a number of neighbouring well regarded villages nearby, notably Selling, Throwley, and Painters Forstal, all with active local communities and any number of well trodden footpaths and country walks to take full advantage of life in this part of the world.

Sheldwich Primary and Pre School is located close by and is incredibly well regarded by local families and rated outstanding by Ofsted, Sheldon Day Spa is located a little further along the road and has heated indoor swimming facilities.

The thriving town of Faversham is just a short distance away which hosts regular food and antique markets, and has many interesting historic buildings plus a fine range of pubs and restaurants to enjoy. Ashford is equally accessible along the A251, and the International Station offers high speed services into Central London in as little as 37 minutes, allowing people to enjoy the best of both worlds from this excellent location.
