Front Brents, Faversham, ME13
5 bedroom house for sale
Miles and Barr are excited to present Bridge House, an exquisite Grade II listed family home offering a rare opportunity to live in a historic property in one of Faversham’s most desirable locations. Boasting five bedrooms and breath-taking views of Faversham Creek, this distinctive residence is located just a short walk from the heart of the medieval town centre.
Set behind a wisteria-clad facade, the entrance to this home is framed by an elegant iron gate and a solid wood door, leading into a welcoming hallway. On either side of the hall are two spacious reception rooms, each filled with light from dual aspect windows. These rooms retain their period charm, with original fireplaces adding character and warmth. One of the rooms offers French doors leading into the garden, while the other enjoys remarkable views of Faversham Creek and the steeple of St Mary’s of Charity Parish Church.
At the end of the hall, the formal dining room offers a wonderfully proportioned space, complete with a traditional fireplace and built-in storage. The room is flooded with natural light and provides the same spectacular creek-side views. Adjacent to the dining room is the kitchen, featuring a double oven, ample cupboard space, a hob, and a charming Butler’s sink. Beyond the kitchen lies a large utility room, providing extra storage and access to a downstairs cloakroom with a lavatory. A side door leads from here directly into the garden.
The stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor, where a spacious landing connects to four of the five bedrooms. The principal bedroom, located at the front of the house, is a large, airy room with dual aspect windows offering sweeping views of Faversham Creek. The second and third bedrooms are both generous doubles, with the third room offering built-in storage and a fireplace. The fourth bedroom, another spacious double, is situated off the main landing and also features a fireplace. A family bathroom and separate WC are located nearby. The fifth bedroom, a single room positioned between the two front bedrooms, offers flexibility and could be transformed into a dressing room or an en-suite bathroom for the principal bedroom.
Outside, the property is set within a large, private garden – a outdoor space perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Detached from the house is a double garage, offering abundant storage space or off-street parking. With the appropriate planning permissions, the garage could easily be converted into a home office or studio. Additional on-street parking is available in the surrounding area, providing plenty of options for visitors and residents alike.
Bridge House is just a short walk from Faversham’s bustling town centre, where you’ll find an array of independent shops, delightful cafes, and vibrant pubs. The historic Faversham market, held three times a week in the Guildhall Square, dates back to 1086 and is one of the oldest in Kent. Faversham is also home to Britain’s oldest brewery, Shepherd Neame, which adds to the town’s unique charm and character.
With excellent transport links, Faversham’s mainline train station is a 13-minute walk away, providing fast connections to London St Pancras, Victoria, and Cannon Street in under 90 minutes. The M2 motorway is just a 10-minute drive away, making it ideal for commuters. The town is well-served by highly rated schools, making it an ideal location for families.
Bridge House is a rare gem, blending historical charm with untapped potential, and represents a unique opportunity to create a bespoke family home in one of Kent’s most sought-after locations.
