Summary - 39 PRETORIA ROAD CANTERBURY CT1 1QL
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Two-bedroom semi with garden, parking and extension potential near Canterbury centre.
Two double bedrooms, two reception rooms
Set in a convenient Canterbury location, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers solid bones and clear scope to add value. The layout includes two reception rooms, a ground-floor WC, kitchen and two double bedrooms upstairs — a practical footprint for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Off-street parking and a decent rear garden are useful extras for city living.
The property requires renovation throughout, so buyers should budget for modernisation works. There is potential to extend to the side and rear and a possible development opportunity at the rear of the garden, all subject to necessary planning consents. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place, reducing immediate major expenditure.
Location is a key strength: an easy walk to Canterbury city centre, universities, shops and transport links including Canterbury West high-speed services to London. Be mindful this is a cosmopolitan, student-orientated neighbourhood with higher local crime rates than average; that should factor into occupancy plans and security measures. Overall, a practical, affordable freehold property for those willing to renovate and realise its extension or rental potential.
