A substantial Victorian detached house arranged over four floors, offering generous, flexible accommodation close to Canterbury city centre, station and hospital. Period features are abundant — high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and character fireplaces — giving the house charm and strong visual appeal. The property includes off-street parking, a front garden, and a decent rear plot, with double glazing installed after 2002.
This home is being marketed with an illustrative Home for Life Lifetime Lease price of £429,500 for purchasers aged 60+, compared with the full market price of £650,000. The Lifetime Lease lets eligible buyers purchase a reduced share (up to 50%) of the property value; actual cost depends on age and personal circumstances. This can deliver a significant saving versus outright purchase but will be personalised and should be checked using the Homewise calculator or by requesting a bespoke quote.
Practically, the house has good room sizes throughout — five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and useful ancillary space including a basement and long utility room — but it is set over multiple levels, which may limit accessibility. The building is solid brick and likely has little cavity insulation; some updating and insulation improvements would be beneficial. Council tax is above average for the area, and prospective buyers should verify services and any necessary consents for alterations.
