Single family bathroom only — may need an additional WC/bathroom for convenience

Located within short walk of Canterbury city centre and university campuses
Area classed as student neighbourhood with above-average crime and local deprivation
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac and a short walk from Canterbury city centre, this detached four/five-bedroom home offers generous family accommodation across about 1,555 sq ft. The house has a full-length lounge/diner, a well-equipped kitchen, a versatile downstairs bedroom (useful as a home office or guest room) and a large private garden, plus driveway parking and a double garage for secure storage or workshop use.
The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and presents good scope to update and personalise rather than requiring major structural work. Features such as secondary glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators are in place; walls are cavity-built but assumed to lack insulation, so energy efficiency improvements would add value and reduce running costs.
Practical considerations are straightforward: there is a single family bathroom serving four/five bedrooms, council tax is above average, and the wider area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with above-average local crime statistics and some area deprivation. These factors affect suitability and rental potential and should be weighed against the site’s strong location, size and off-street parking.
This house will suit a growing family wanting roomy living near schools and city amenities, or an investor seeking a large, adaptable property close to universities and transport links — subject to careful management of the local market and potential refurbishment costs.
