Set on Railway Hill in peaceful Barham, this semi‑detached 1930s cottage offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and traditional period character. The living room's bay window and fireplace create a warm family space, while a contemporary kitchen with skylight provides bright, everyday practicality. The property is freehold and offers off‑street parking plus fast broadband — useful for home working and family life.
The house needs renovation and updating throughout; decorative and maintenance work is required. Walls are cavity construction with assumed no insulation, glazing is double but installation date is unknown, and the heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. There is a medium flood risk in the area and some exterior upkeep is likely given the home's age.
Outside space is modest with a small plot size that still delivers a private garden and scope for landscaping or extension, subject to planning. Local amenities include good primary and secondary schools, low local crime, village facilities and regular bus links into nearby Canterbury, making this a practical option for families seeking village life with commuting convenience.
