This four-bedroom mid-terrace in Buckland offers clear investment appeal, with an estimated net rental yield of 8% and proximity to Dover Priory station (approximately 800 metres). The property’s size and flexible layout — bedroom and shower room on the ground floor plus three bedrooms upstairs — suit both multi-occupancy lets and family rentals. Coastal attractions and local amenities support steady tenant demand.
The house retains period features to the façade and bay windows, while the interior shows a mix of modern fittings and ongoing wear. There is a rear courtyard and a small garden that add outdoor value but the overall plot is small. Constructed c.1900–1929 with assumed solid brick walls and no integral wall insulation, the property will benefit from targeted improvement work to boost energy performance and long-term rental returns.
Material considerations are straightforward and important: the area records higher crime and general deprivation indices, and the house needs some maintenance and cosmetic updating in places. Purchasers should factor renovation costs, potential energy-efficiency upgrades, and the advertised transaction conditions (deposit and a non-refundable reservation fee) into their offers. For investors seeking a rental-ready asset close to transport links and the marina, this presents a practical buy-to-let opportunity with scope to add value.
