This well-presented Victorian mid-terrace on Odo Road offers a ready-to-move-in two-bedroom layout with 894 sq ft of overall space and period character including a bay window and small forecourt. The ground floor is arranged with a separate hallway, open-plan lounge/dining room and a tidy kitchen leading to a small rear garden with raised decking — ideal for morning coffee. The property has a useful basement for storage or conversion potential and recent external work including rebuilt retaining wall, new gate and new rear fences.
The house suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who want a habitable home with immediate rental or occupation potential. Practical positives include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted since 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is rear access to the street behind, making bike or bin access straightforward, and council tax costs are described as low.
Buyers should be aware of material local-area issues: the property sits in a very deprived, high-crime neighbourhood of blue-collar terraces. The walls are original solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, so thermal improvements may be needed to reduce heating bills and improve comfort. Tenure is not stated and should be confirmed. While flood risk is low, the immediate area profile may affect resale timing and rental demand.
Overall, this is a large-feeling, characterful two-bedroom terraced house offered around £200,000 that combines move-in readiness with clear scope for modest improvement. It will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a period home in need of limited updating, and investors looking for an affordable entry into the Dover market — provided they accept the local social and security trade-offs.
