Summary - 9 GORE MEWS CANTERBURY CT1 1JB
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Versatile investment or family house with garage and private garden.
Four double bedrooms in compact 833 sq ft footprint
A compact detached house a short walk from Canterbury city centre, currently arranged as a four double-bedroom student let. The property includes a fitted kitchen, separate lounge, ground-floor cloakroom, single family bathroom upstairs, private rear garden, garage and an allocated parking space. At about 833 sq ft, the layout is efficient but relatively small for four bedrooms.
This house offers clear value for two buyer types: an investor seeking an established rental history (previous rent £1,400 pcm, circa 6.4% yield) or a family wanting a city-edge home with scope to reconfigure. Removing the internal stud wall or converting a downstairs bedroom into a dining room would open up living space and create a more conventional family plan.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher local crime and wider-area deprivation indicators, so living there may involve typical city-centre noise and demand characteristics. The property dates from circa 1967–75, has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating and may benefit from general refurbishment to suit long-term family use.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, freehold tenure, council tax band C, and good transport links — Canterbury West station and the city’s amenities are nearby. For investors the existing rental performance and convenient location support immediate re-let; for families the garden, garage and nearby schools add everyday appeal if the interior layout is adapted.
