Income-ready four-bed layout in a student neighbourhood with refurbishment upside.
- Currently let to students, producing immediate rental income
- Configured as four bedrooms by repurposing the living room
- Compact contemporary kitchen; conservatory leads to small garden
- Post-2002 double glazing and mains gas central heating
- Small plot and modest kerb appeal; exterior needs updating
- Located in a deprived, higher-crime area; consider tenancy risks
- Freehold tenure and low council tax
- On-street parking only; no allocated parking
A mid-20th century terraced house set within a busy Canterbury neighbourhood, offered freehold and currently configured to maximise rental yield. The property is let to students for the current academic year and is presented as a four-bedroom layout (living room repurposed), delivering immediate income for an investor buyer. Inside, a well-maintained compact kitchen, separate dining area and rear conservatory open to a small lawned garden with a decked area, useful for tenants or informal outdoor space.
The home retains practical upgrades including post-2002 double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Upstairs are three main bedrooms serving a modern shower room; the flexible ground floor layout allows return to a conventional living room if required. Council tax is described as low and there is plentiful on-street parking nearby.
Material considerations: the exterior and some finishes are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating to improve kerb appeal and long-term value. The property sits in an area with above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators, and the immediate locality is characterised by student housing — factors investors should weigh when setting rents or targeting tenants.
Ideal for a buyer seeking an income-producing asset with short-term yield and medium-term refurbishment upside. The straightforward construction (filled cavity walls, mid-1970s build) and existing tenant arrangement make this a practical purchase for hands-on investors prepared to manage an urban rental property.
