Set in the heart of historic Fordwich, this 1580 end-of-terrace home combines genuine period character with substantial living space. Exposed beams, a Tudor living room and original brickwork give the house an authentic feel; its generous footprint (c.1,820 sq ft) accommodates two reception rooms, study, three upstairs bedrooms and loft room. A mature south-facing garden and off-street parking with a large garage/barn add practical outdoor space and scope for change.
The garage/barn offers clear potential for conversion or extension, subject to planning, and the property’s size and layout suit a growing family or those seeking flexible rooms for home working. Proximity to Canterbury, local schools including the King’s School, riverside walks and two popular pubs make this a desirable village location with good transport links to Sturry and the High Speed rail service.
There are important constraints to note: the house is listed, which limits alteration options and may complicate works; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated; and the property has a medium flood risk. It has a single family bathroom, and council tax is described as expensive. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, which buyers should factor in.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful property with clear potential for improvement and expansion but it will suit purchasers prepared to work within listed-building rules and to invest in upgrading fabric and flood resilience where needed. For families or buyers seeking a village retreat with conversion potential, the location and size are strong assets.
