Characterful two-bedroom terrace in central Canterbury — chain free, private rear garden, ideal first buy.
Chain free freehold two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace
Set in central Canterbury, this two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace blends period character with practical living over two floors. The living room’s bay window and high ceiling deliver natural light and original charm while the modern kitchen and downstairs shower room add everyday convenience. A private rear garden with alley access is a rare urban asset for relaxing or secure bike storage.
The property is well suited to first-time buyers seeking central location and character, or investors targeting the city’s steady rental market — the area is popular with students and professionals and benefits from excellent transport links to London. At around 650 sq ft the footprint is modest but efficient, with a clear layout of lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms.
Important practical points: the home uses electric storage heating, cavity walls appear uninsulated, and the terrace shows signs of ageing that will benefit from internal modernisation. There is limited street parking and the plot is small. Buyers should be aware of a high local flood risk and a very high recorded crime level in the immediate area when considering insurance and security measures.
Chain-free sale and freehold tenure simplify purchase logistics. For those wanting a period terrace near shops, universities and mainline stations, this property offers immediate occupancy potential with scope to add value through targeted improvements.
