This marvellous six-bedroom villa sits in the centre of Faversham, a historic market town in Kent. Spanning some 6,500 sq ft internally, the building has undergone an extensive restoration respectful of the home's Georgian integrity. A landscaped courtyard garden sits at the rear, with a large studio/garage with space for two cars. The house is opposite the train station, where regular trains run to London in a little over an hour, and to the surrounding Kent Coast. Setting the Scene The house was originally built for Julius Shepherd, of the Shepherd Neame family, who took over Britain's oldest brewery in 1770 and incorporated modern advancements such as the replacement of horses with steam-powered engines for the production of ales. Constructed in the mid-18th century, the facade of the building is a picture of classical symmetry, with an archetypically Georgian red-brick frontage. Preston Street has lived a colourful life as a grand family home, boarding school, Constitutional Club and even nightclub in the past 250 years. During its spell as a Constitutional Club in the 1950s, the house became well known locally for its first-floor ballroom that taught residents formal dancing. After a brief stint as a nightclub in the 1980s, Preston Street was later lovingly and thoroughly restored by the current owners from top to bottom. For more information, please see the History section below. The Grand Tour Entry to the house is via a flight of Portland stone steps, leading to a classical porch with twin Doric columns; a coved recess is home to an original timber door with a semi-circular fanlight above. Ahead lies a voluminous hallway which leads onto the main reception spaces; original floorboards run underfoot, and the walls have been finished in a wonderful House of Hackney paper. To the right, a kitchen and dining room spans the width of the house, with natural light filtering through two sash windows to the front, and a vast arched window with partial stained glass to the rear. A bespoke kitchen has been crafted by local craftsmen and is topped with part wood and part granite worktops. A large central island dominates, with unfinished plaster ceilings overhead. In the dining room, a wood-burning stove sits inside a Regency fireplace. Adjacent is a formal sitting room. Wonderfully atmospheric, the space has been finished in 'Down Pipe' by Farrow and Ball. An original open fireplace has carvings of classical scenes and is perfect for colder months, while the rest of the room has been lined with built-in shelving. Towards the rear of the plan is a large utility with original checkerboard tiles, built-in storage and a pantry. Beyond this is a cosy snug and separate guest WC. The lower-ground floor is accessed via the original service staircase. Currently laid out as an events space/studio, the room has the original 1970s bar (perfect for an evening of entertaining) and an exposed oak ceiling frame with neon pink support columns. The floor has a tiled concrete floor and direct access to the front garden. A bedroom with a spacious en suite is accessed from the reception hallway. With access via its own flight of stairs, it has a wonderfully private feel, ideal for guests, family, or older teenagers. Ascending to the first floor, the front of the plan is home to the vast primary bedroom. An impressive space occupying the full width of the building, the room has five sash windows overlooking Preston Street. It retains its original sprung wooden floor and has a fireplace at either end of the bedroom. Plasterwork here has been left exposed to add depth and texture. Behind double doors is an en suite finished in an inky Farrow and Ball paint; the bathroom has been finished with Lefroy Brooks fixtures including a ceramic vanity and indulgent William and Holland copper bath. An additional bedroom completes the first floor. Currently used as an office, it has views over the quiet and leafy courtyard to the rear. The top floor is home to a further four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Overlooking the front and rear of the house, the rooms have been finished in a neutral palette of tones and retain their original wood flooring. The Great Outdoors A pretty courtyard garden unfolds to the rear. Laid out with a mixture of well-established beds and raised planters, the greenery includesgigantic euphorbia and fragrant climbing roses, honeysuckle & rosemary. An abundant cooking apple tree provides shade during warmer months, and the area has been laid out with reclaimed York stone flags for garden furniture and entertaining.
