Period charm, garden and basement near Canterbury High Street — ideal for hands-on buyers.
Freehold Georgian mid-terrace with authentic period features
A charming two-bedroom Georgian townhouse set in the heart of Canterbury’s city centre, offered as a freehold with plenty of period character. The house delivers surprisingly generous internal space across multiple levels, highlighted by exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and original brick chimney breasts. The neatly paved rear garden (approx. 27' x 13') provides a private outdoor space for city living.
Practical extras include a useful basement room with power and recently fitted flooring, and a well-equipped kitchen that opens onto the garden. Main heating is gas boiler and radiators. Council tax band is affordable, and the property is within a short walk of High Street shops, cafés, the Marlowe Theatre and both railway stations.
Important considerations: the property is a solid-brick, pre-1900 build with assumed no cavity insulation, so thermal performance may be limited and upgrading insulation should be considered. The immediate area records very high crime levels and the property sits within a high flood-risk zone — both materially affect insurance and security needs. The plot is small and neighbours are close, so outdoor space is compact.
This house will suit a buyer seeking period character and city-centre convenience who is comfortable with central‑city issues and potential retrofit work. It also offers clear scope for sensible improvements (insulation, flood resilience, security upgrades) to increase comfort and long‑term value.
