A charming, detached property built in the 1970s with an established south facing rear garden, gated driveway, and garage. Conveniently situated in the heart of Boughton high street, close to bars, restaurants, and the local primary school.

Howay House offers over 1300 sq.ft of spacious and versatile accommodation, currently configured as a three-bedroom property but could easily be transformed to offer four bedrooms.

There is a wonderful opportunity to enhance and modernise this home, and possibilities to create an open plan layout by removing internal walls.

The front door opens into an entrance lobby with plenty of room for shoes and coats. A double-glazed internal door then opens into a large entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and Karndean flooring which flows through to the sitting room at the rear.

The kitchen breakfast room has been fitted with azure blue units and integrate a hide and slide Neff oven, induction hob and dishwasher. This is complemented by a utility/cloak room opposite ideal for housing laundry appliances.

To the rear of the property there is two large reception rooms, one is currently used as a dining room with sliding doors to the garden patio, whilst the other is a large dual aspect sitting room with open fireplace.

The downstairs space is further enhanced by an addition reception room currently used as an office but could easily become an additional bedroom or playroom.

To the first floor there is a well-appointed family bathroom and three generously proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom has an en-suite shower room whilst the second largest room was originally configured as two bedrooms and could be divided again to accommodate children.

OUTSIDE:

Howay house occupies a generous plot made up of a gated driveway that could accommodate three cars and a beautiful south facing garden.

The patio can be accessed from the sliding doors in both the main reception rooms and spills out onto a large lawned area which is bordered by established shrubs and young trees.

Access to the front of the property is via a side gate where you will also find the detached garage.

Faversham has the renowned Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, whilst Canterbury offers a selection of both state and private schools, and three universities.
