Main House
This magnificent period home sits proudly on a double plot, believed to be the home built for the builder of the homes in St. Johns Road, exhibiting an array of features, to include sash windows, original coving,
tall ceiling height, floorboards, fireplaces and high skirtings. A viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate what is truly something special.
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, with access to the lounge at the front. The lounge being well lit with its large triple sash window to the front, featuring wide plank floorboards, with the focal point being the gas fired stove inset into the original fireplace. The well-proportioned kitchen/dining room offers plenty of cupboard space with stylish cream shaker doors, complemented with solid wood work-surfaces. The kitchen features a log burner and offers plenty of room for a sizeable table. Bifold doors open onto the garden-great for entertaining or enjoying the morning sun. A separate utility room provides additional space for your appliances, with its own access to the garden and separate wc.
A door from the hall leads down to the basement room, which has been partially tanked. This room is a great addition, currently used as a gym and store.
Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, all featuring floorboards and offering exceptional ceiling height and being well-lit with their large sash windows.
The master bedroom is located to the rear and is noteworthy due to its exceptional size.
The larger of the two bedrooms to the front is currently used as a 2nd lounge, with the original cast iron open fire forming the focal point of the room.
We are advised that the attic has been boarded and offers potential for a loft conversion (subject to the normal consents).
The garden is accessed from the bi-fold doors of the kitchen, door from the utility room or from the side alley. A patio area is located outside the dining area, providing a sheltered space, allowing the dining area to be extended out into the garden.
The centre of garden is mainly laid to lawn, with vegetable beds and planters providing space for home grown produce. A pergola at the back of the garden provides shade for a seating area, benefitting from a store to the side. Additional storage is provided by the wooden shed.
The house is ideally located in the ever-popular
St. Johns Road, being at the station end, providing just a few minutes walk to the station and town centre, as well as being a short stroll to the recreation ground.
The house itself sits on a double plot, with the attached studio/annexe sitting on another double plot.

Attached Studio / Workshop
The huge single storey attached studio offers a great opportunity for someone looking to operate their hobby or business from home or for someone looking to extend the accommodation of the main house or potentially convert the studio into a separate dwelling.
The studio has its own access through the double doors at the front, or from a door off the lounge of the main house. A separate room/office is found immediately as you enter from the lounge, currently being used as a kiln room, where pottery is hand-made, with a display window onto the street. A door opens into the artists workshop area, being lit by two roof-lights. From here, double doors open into the vast main artist studio, which has stunning vaulted wooden ceilings and a vast amount of natural light from its six roof-lights, the perfect lighting for an artist.
The room benefits from a walk-in store and separate storage cupboard. Double doors open onto a small courtyard which is shared with the annexe.
Access to the annexe is possible from the studio from a door which can be locked off or kept open.
This building really offers a bank canvas to any prospective purchaser to use as they see fit, or a possible re-development of the building into a separate dwelling. Planning was previously granted for a separate 3 bed dwelling (ref: Sw/07/1248). All parties should seek advice from Swale Borough Council and all uses are subject to normal consents.

1 Bed Annexe
The beautifully presented double storey Annexe is located to the rear of the studio and has its own entrance door from the garden of the main house.
The open plan living area is well-lit, with its three windows, giving it a light and airy feel. Wooden floorboards contrast nicely with the neutral décor throughout. The kitchen units feature a mix of white and stainless steel doors, to include an electric hob and built-in stainless steel oven. An attractive wood-burning stove provides additional heating on those cold winter days.
Stairs lead up to the well proportioned double bedroom, with access to the ensuite bathroom, which includes a free- standing bath, pedestal basin and wc.
The courtyard garden is accessed from the door in the living area.
