Light-filled period character meets practical layout in this three-bedroom mid-terrace, a manageable first step onto the property ladder. The open-plan ground floor creates a sociable living and dining space, with a modern kitchen leading directly to a small but useful garden and an outbuilding originally designed as a WC.
Practical upgrades include newly double-glazed rear windows and a modern front door, and the home benefits from mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators. At approximately 947 sq ft, the house offers two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom across two storeys — comfortable for a young couple, small family, or sharers.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction: solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and period fabric mean there is potential to improve energy efficiency further. The plot is compact and there is only one bathroom. The surrounding area is a mixed, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with higher-than-average local crime statistics, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision.
Location is a major strength: a short walk to Canterbury East station for direct London links and close to the city centre’s shops, eateries and amenities. The nearby primary and secondary schools, plus local conveniences, make this a practical, well-connected option for first-time buyers seeking immediate access to town and transport.
