Nelson Gardens, Faversham

A beautifully refurbished two-bedroom period cottage, offering thoughtfully updated accommodation and a truly exceptional private garden, all tucked away within one of Favershams most sought-after central locations.

Originally built in 1901 as part of a row of traditional brick workers cottages, Nelson Gardens is a charming and peaceful setting, discreetly positioned just off Nelson Street and The Mall, within easy reach of the town centre and mainline railway station.

The current owner has comprehensively modernised the property, creating a light and inviting home that seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary convenience.

A glazed door offers access to the garden, allowing natural light to fill the room.

A well-appointed bathroom is also located on the ground floor, finished in a clean, contemporary style.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite shower room, adding a level of comfort and practicality rarely found in cottages of this style.

OUTSIDE:

The garden is a true highlight of the property and has been lovingly cultivated to create a private and tranquil retreat. Partially enclosed by a characterful Victorian wall, the space is beautifully planted with a wide variety of established shrubs, trees, and cottage garden perennials, providing year-round colour and interest.

Meandering pathways lead through the planting to a secluded seating area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, while a charming wrought iron archway with climbing plants adds to the overall sense of character. A hardstanding area offers space for a shed or greenhouse, and there is useful side access.
