Grade II listed, The Old Rectory is a beautiful historic family home with a warm welcoming feel and an exceptional amount of space for everyday living, home working and entertaining. The main house combines generous reception areas, comfortable bedrooms and well-planned practical spaces, while retaining the charm of its period origins through exposed beams, original joinery, casement glazing and an inglenook fireplace.

At the heart of the home is a spacious, chef-inspired kitchen, with Aga, marble worktops and an expansive bar area, creating a natural gathering place for family life and relaxed entertaining.

The living accommodation is equally considered, with comfortable and flexible spaces arranged for modern family life. The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, with a spacious walk-in dressing room fitted with shelving and hanging space, together with an ensuite bathroom featuring a marble-encased luxuriously sized bath.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION The property benefits from two additional and separate living spaces which are set apart from the main house.

The detached two-storey weatherboarded Kentish barn-style triple garage with additional workshop area, houses an apartment above and provides wonderfully versatile additional space, whether for guests, a nanny, older children, home working, hobbies, storage or other lifestyle needs.

An additional and separate self-contained cottage annexe provides further accommodation. Both these properties can be rented out to generate rental income.

This property has 1.86 acres of land.

Outside

Occupying a private and secure plot of just under two acres, The Old Rectory is approached through double electronic iron gates over a sweeping driveway, with parking for multiple vehicles.

The gardens are one of the property’s most enchanting features, offering a series of distinct areas, each with its own character and purpose. A wooded area with a winding path creates a sense of discovery, while the large pond, stream and surrounding wildlife bring movement and atmosphere to the setting, with moorhens, ducks and fish adding to its charm.

Closer to the house, generous patio areas wrap around two sides, providing natural spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining, while established flower beds, a cutting garden with fruit cage, a separate orchard with mature fruit trees and a croquet lawn make the grounds both beautiful and highly usable.

Situation

The property is set in a beautiful rural location, a stone’s throw away from historic Faversham, the cathedral city of Canterbury and the coastal town of Whitstable, all of which combine to provide an array of cultural, sporting and recreational opportunities, together with an excellent range of educational facilities in both the independent and state sectors.

There are excellent road and rail links: the A2/M2 gives access to major regional centres, the motorway network, London and the coast. Faversham station offers regular services to central London with journey times from 68 minutes, whilst the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel offer connections to Continental Europe.
