A Grade II Listed mews house having undergone a sympathetic and comprehensive renovation preserving all of the original character whilst adapting facilities for 21st C living requirements.

The combined kitchen/dining room has glazed doors opening to the private garden and features units with soft closing cupboards and drawers, as well as integrated “Bosch” appliances. The room opens to the drawing room which has underfloor heating and a high coved ceiling. An elegant staircase within the reception hall climbs to a half landing and onwards to a spacious full landing. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a dressing room and en-suite shower room, whilst two further bedrooms with overhead roof windows share a bathroom.

The house is complimented by a neatly kept private garden with sun patio, flower beds and outside tap, whilst there are two single garages with electric power connected nearby.

The Lees Court Country Estate features a fabulous Grade II Listed mansion set within formal private gardens and parkland grounds extending to about 16 acres, with the residents having use of all facilities including a heated swimming pool (APR – SEPT) and tennis court. The main driveway winds through the grounds arriving at the left-hand side of the house in front of the old coach yard and stables which are now a selection of most attractive mews houses with nearby garaging.

The pretty village of Sheldwich is nearby with its distinctive cricket green and the A251 on the periphery of the village provides a straightforward route to both Ashford (M20) and Faversham (M2).

The town of Faversham is perhaps the most accessible and offers everyday facilities along with maritime walks along the creek as far as the Swale Estuary.

Faversham, the City of Canterbury and the Market Town of Ashford all offer high speed train services to London St Pancras.
