Located in the heart of Canterbury, The Coach House is a three-storey Georgian townhouse currently trading as a seven-room boutique guesthouse. It delivers immediate income potential from its established layout and central, walkable location near the cathedral quarter and Canterbury West station.
The property includes a communal lounge and dining area, compact shared kitchen, basement cellars for staff accommodation and storage, plus four off-street parking spaces — an uncommon asset for a central city site. A small private rear garden provides outdoor amenity for guests or residents.
Crucially, the building was originally two residential properties and offers realistic scope for alternative uses. Subject to planning consent, the house could be reconfigured back to a single residence or subdivided into apartments, presenting clear refurbishment and value‑uplift opportunities for an investor or developer.
Buyers should note material considerations: there are currently no granted planning permissions and any conversion will require the necessary consents. The property sits in a very high crime area and presents typical maintenance requirements for a period building (EPC 50/B). Council tax is low (Band A), and strong local demand from students and professionals supports letting prospects.
