This Victorian terraced house on Station Road West offers clear rental and conversion potential close to Canterbury West station. The property has been a successful HMO and features five exceptionally large bedrooms, two bathrooms and a south-facing courtyard with off-street parking for two cars — a rare combination in this area.
The layout is flexible and would suit investors seeking immediate income or a buyer wanting to convert it into a spacious family home. The kitchen and living areas are contemporary in style, while the period exterior retains traditional sash windows and bay features. Offered chain free and with an EPC rating of C, the house is ready for a new owner to optimise layout and finishes.
Buyers should note the property sits in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher local crime levels, and the house does require some maintenance and updating in parts. The overall plot and internal floor area are modest, so any extension or major changes will need to consider the limited plot size and planning constraints typical of terraced, period properties.
For an investor, the combination of proximity to universities, the city centre and high-speed rail links to London creates steady tenant demand. For an owner-occupier, the property delivers large bedrooms and central convenience with scope to personalise the interior and garden area.
