Description

A freehold, Grade II listed property in central Faversham, comprising a multi-storey former house now used as a shop, together with a detached two-storey Bothy. The main building has ground-floor showroom space with side storage, further showroom areas on the first and second floors, and a basement. The Bothy currently provides a ground-floor washroom and two storage rooms, with an open-plan room above. The upper floors of the main building are described as having potential for conversion into two two-bedroom apartments, while retaining commercial use on the lower levels. The vendor also identifies the Bothy as a possible one-bedroom dwelling. The existing flat-roof extension links the shop to the Bothy; removing it could create space for parking or private outdoor space. These proposals would require the relevant planning and listed building consents, and their feasibility has not been confirmed. The property is currently let on a rolling contract at a stated rent of £19,000 per annum, with the tenant looking to remain until redevelopment planning has been granted. The building is believed to date from the eighteenth century and is described as having brick walls and a tiled or slate roof. It is in Faversham town centre, with local shops, amenities and rail connections. Buyers should verify the tenancy, building condition, title information and consent requirements before proceeding.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial historic town-centre building with a prominent frontage and a separate two-storey Bothy, offering an unusually broad conversion canvas. The listing outlines potential upper-floor apartments and a separate home in the Bothy, with possible garden or parking space if the rear extension can be removed; all of this depends on planning and listed-building consent. The visible interiors remain commercial showroom spaces, while the rear flat roof looks weathered and there is dark staining on basement masonry.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the upper floors of the historic main building towards the two apartments described in the listing, subject to listed-building and planning consent.
  • Explore turning the separate two-storey Bothy into a one-bedroom home.
  • Assess whether removing the rear flat-roof extension could create private outdoor space or off-street parking.

Key risks

  • The commercial showroom interiors, basement staining and weathered-looking rear flat roof make this a substantial conversion programme, not a cosmetic refresh; scope, budget and timing will depend on investigation and consents.
