This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Forty Acres Road offers practical family living with strong transport and city links. The property sits within easy walking distance of Canterbury West station and the city centre, making commutes and school runs straightforward. The layout includes two reception rooms, a compact kitchen and three bedrooms upstairs — suitable for a growing family or rental use.
Stand-out features are a long 50' rear garden and a block-paved driveway for two cars, plus chain-free sale and an affordable Council Tax (Band C). The house totals about 898 sq ft — rooms are generally modest to average in size — and has double glazing and mains gas central heating installed.
Notable drawbacks are factual: there is a single family bathroom, internal space is limited for larger families, and the property would benefit from some modernisation and external landscaping. The building dates from the mid-20th century and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so improving energy efficiency would be advisable. The local area shows a higher crime level and a cosmopolitan mix with students nearby, which may affect long-term rental desirability or family preferences.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located family home with immediate parking and outdoor space, good for buyers who prioritise location and see value in modest renovation or landlords seeking a centrally positioned rental asset.
