Summary - 10 OTHAM CLOSE CANTERBURY CT2 7QX
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Lifetime-lease option for buyers aged 60+, with garden, garage and renovation potential.
Three bedrooms, approx. 980 sq ft
Set in the established Hales Place area, this mid-terrace three-bedroom house offers straightforward accommodation and practical outdoor space. The property is offered freehold with no onward chain and includes a private rear garden and an en-bloc garage (new felt roof). At about 980 sqft, the layout suits a range of buyers including anyone looking to downsize or secure a retirement home.
For those aged 60 and over the Home for Life Lifetime Lease is available; a guide price for this property under that plan is £192,000 (market value listed at £290,000). The plan lets buyers purchase a share of the property (up to 50%) to safeguard future equity — actual price varies by age and circumstances and should be checked using Homewise’s calculator or personalised quote.
The house requires updating throughout: the façade, interior décor and some fixtures are dated and would benefit from renovation. This presents clear potential to add value for a homeowner prepared to modernise, or for an investor seeking refurbishment opportunity. Note the plot is small and the area is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with above-average local crime statistics — factors to weigh when considering comfort and rental prospects.
Practically, the building dates from the 1950s–1960s, has double glazing installed since 2002, mains gas central heating and cavity walls (assumed uninsulated). Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. Local amenities, schools and transport links are close by, and council tax is described as affordable.
