Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re searching for a unique stay filled with character, this home could the one for you. Originally built in 1850 as a customs house, the space has since been transformed into a relaxing riverside retreat – ideal for groups looking to switch off and enjoy the best of Faversham. Located in a residential area with views across Standard Quay, there are lovely walks from here as well as easy access to local shops, cafes and restaurants – just a short stroll away. Parties aren’t allowed, but there’s plenty of space for intimate dinners and cosy evenings around the fire. While the rooms are spread across four floors with stair access, the owners have ensured the space is child friendly, plus those looking to adventure further afield will appreciate the ample free parking.
