5 bed detached house for sale

Faversham Road, Boughton Aluph TN25

A substantial detached home with independent accommodation and further potential

Set along Faversham Road in Kennington, this substantial detached family home offers around 2,000 sq ft of accommodation and a level of flexibility that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Arranged over two floors, the home currently provides five bedrooms, three reception spaces and a particularly versatile layout that could work in a number of different ways depending on your needs.

The first floor can be arranged as a self-contained two-bedroom apartment, providing a genuine degree of independence from the main living accommodation. This makes the home particularly well suited to multi-generational living or combined households, while also offering an interesting opportunity for anyone looking for the potential to generate an additional income. The accommodation could equally be used by older children, extended family or guests, depending on what works best for you.

There is further potential on the ground floor, where the garage has been converted to create additional accommodation and could provide the basis for a further self-contained annex, giving the home even more flexibility. For a family who needs space for different generations under one roof, or perhaps wants to accommodate a relative while retaining a degree of independence, this could prove particularly useful.

The location is another real advantage, particularly for families. Towers School & Sixth Form Centre, Kennington CE Academy and Downs View Infant School are all within easy reach, making the school run that little bit easier. When it comes to weekends and time spent together, Conningbrook Lakes is close by and offers a great spot for getting outdoors, while Stubbs Restaurant provides a popular local option for eating out. Eureka Leisure Park is also nearby, with its multi-screen Cineworld cinema, Bannatyne Health Club and a good selection of restaurants and eateries, giving you plenty of choice for days and evenings out without having to travel far.
For commuters, the location is equally convenient, with Ashford International Station providing high-speed services to London St Pancras, bus stop at the door step while the M20 is easily accessible for journeys by road towards London, Canterbury and the coast. Ashford town centre is also close by, offering a wider range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities.

For those who don't require the independent accommodation, there is plenty of scope to configure the house as one substantial family home. With approximately 2,000 sq ft to work with, three reception spaces and five bedrooms, there is plenty of room to create spaces for everyday family life, working from home, entertaining and relaxing, while still having the flexibility to adapt the layout as your needs change.

Outside, the generous rear garden provides plenty of room for children to play and for the family to enjoy during the warmer months. A large terraced patio creates an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the remainder of the garden providing plenty of scope for family use. To the front, a driveway provides off-street parking for several cars.

With its substantial accommodation, flexible layout and potential for independent living, this is a home that could suit a wide range of buyers. Whether you're looking for somewhere for a growing family, need space for multiple generations or want the potential to create an additional income stream, there's plenty here to work with.
