46 By the Creek is a sympathetically renovated traditional brick cottage situated, as its name suggests, on Faversham Creek. This mid-terrace property has everything you need for a self-catered stay, perfect for a small family, friends or two couples looking to explore the Kent coastline, historic towns, or countryside. The living room is a charming sunny room facing the creek where you can watch the tide ebb and flow․ For cooler evenings, the original brick fireplace houses an electric stove which can also be used to provide a cosy glow without heat. With a fully kitted-out kitchen and separate full sized dining room, you can cook as much as you wish․ Attached to the dining room is a rear entry porch: convenient for leaving your walking gear. Beyond the kitchen is a bright garden room that opens out onto a sheltered patio which enjoys full sun all day during the summer and is popular with a variety of birds․ A path leads past the small pond to a further natural garden. Upstairs are two fully-furnished bedrooms; the front bedroom benefits from a full-length window, looking across to small sailing barges moored on the far side of the creek and oystercatchers wading at low tide. There is a delightful bright shower room on this floor, with an additional WC downstairs. All the pleasures of Medieval Faversham are within a short level walk, where historic buildings, coffee shops and eateries, pubs and antique shops await․ The mock Tudor Royal Cinema where you can watch current releases, or head to Faversham Pools, offering indoor and outdoor swimming complete with diving boards. If you’re looking for a break from cooking, a few steps from the cottage you’ll find The Albion Taverna․ If Mexican food is not your cuisine of choice, there are lots of other eateries to choose from within a short walk, such as Posillipo (Italian). On the far side of the creek is Standard Quay, home to historic buildings housing antique shops, food and drink etc․ while a few steps further take you to Iron Wharf boatyard․ Stop for a coffee at Quint’s Retreat before heading out along Saxon Shore. 46 By the Creek is positioned on the England Coast Path leading to Saxon Shore Way․ For a short walk, cross the fields to Hollowshore, on the Swale estuary, and enjoy a pint or two at The Shipwright’s Arms. For the more energetic, cross the creek and follow the Saxon Shore route to Whitstable, famous for its oysters․ Sit on the beach and watch the glorious sunset while savouring fish and chips or have a well-earned drink at The Old Neptune; a welcoming pub on the Beach. Inland, a short drive will take you to Canterbury with its stunning cathedral; admire Chilham’s historic architecture, location of many films, take a picnic to Mount Ephraim Gardens or explore the North Downs. The Kent coast offers a variety of experiences․ Including Herne Bay with its promenade and pier; Reculver Towers and Roman fort․ Follow the coast round to Margate with its eclectic mix of ‘kiss me quick’ seafront with its wide sandy beach and trendy cultural quarter․ Broadstairs, a delightful old-fashioned seaside popular with families and favourite of Charles Dickens, leads on to Ramsgate with its bustling harbour. Nature lovers will want to visit Oare Marshes, or Sheppey with its nature reserves and RSPB viewing point within a scenic drive. Whether you’re looking for coast, historic buildings, exploring nature or just somewhere to chill, 46 By the Creek offers the perfect base for you.
