This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Field Avenue presents a clear starter opportunity for a first-time buyer ready to add value. The layout includes a lounge-diner, kitchen, two double bedrooms, family bathroom and a large boarded loft — all arranged over about 779 sq ft. Off-street parking for two plus an attached garage are practical benefits for city living.
The house requires renovation throughout, so expect cosmetic and modernisation works to achieve your ideal finish. The property does include double glazing (installed after 2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a private enclosed rear garden that provides scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning).
Location is a major draw: quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of Canterbury city centre, good local shops and two universities, with Canterbury West station and fast rail links to London nearby. That accessibility makes the house suitable for commuting first-timers or buy-to-let investors seeking rental demand.
Be realistic about local challenges. The immediate area records very high crime rates and is marked as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental values and could influence insurance and security needs. The property is being sold freehold and with no onward chain, enabling a quicker purchase, but budget for renovation and any security upgrades.
