This four-bedroom semi-detached house sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in Hales Place, within easy reach of Canterbury city centre and local schools. The open-plan lounge and dining room plus a modern fitted kitchen give practical, family-friendly living space; a versatile ground-floor fourth bedroom or home office adds flexibility for guests or remote work. The property benefits from driveway parking, an attached garage/utility projection, and a private rear garden with patio and lawn for outdoor family use.
At around 937 sq ft the overall footprint is modest for a four-bedroom home. There is a single family bathroom, and the house dates from the late 1960s–1970s with some external elements appearing dated. Cavity walls are recorded as originally built without added insulation; buyers should consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades. The property is freehold and council tax is described as affordable.
Location is a strong practical advantage: good local schools, regular bus links, and close proximity to the University of Kent and city amenities. The area has a cosmopolitan, student-neighbourhood character and mobile signal is excellent, while broadband speeds are average. Note the local crime level is above average; buyers may want to review local safety and security measures.
Overall this home will suit growing families or buyers seeking a well-located, adaptable house with outdoor space and parking. It offers immediate usability with scope to modernise, improve insulation and possibly reconfigure interiors to make better use of the footprint. Buyers seeking a larger, fully refurbished family home should factor in the modest size and potential renovation costs.
