Waterstone Place is a friendly Retirement Living scheme set in the quiet market town of Faversham, Kent. The town centre is about a mile away and there is a bus stop within easy walking distance. Canterbury and Sittingbourne are close by, and Faversham has good transport links to London and beyond. The town itself is full of character, with cafés, restaurants, shops and a strong local history.
Built in 1987, Waterstone Place offers 47 purpose-built apartments with a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom homes for single people and couples. Two studio apartments are specially adapted for people with disabilities, and thirteen apartments have their own garden doors leading directly into the shared garden. At the heart of the scheme is a welcoming communal lounge that is used every day for social activities and informal catch-ups over tea or coffee.
The building is set around the remains of an ancient monastery, which are clearly marked in the garden and add to the character of the site. The outdoor space also includes a small stream and a patio area, giving residents a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
