A substantial four-bedroom semi-detached period house arranged over four floors, offered chain free and with rare off-street parking directly to the front. The property retains many Victorian features — bay windows, high ceilings and an original fireplace — and benefits from modern double glazing and mains gas heating. Its layout includes a self-contained lower-ground level with kitchen and bathroom, offering genuine dual-living or rental potential.
The interior is bright and well-proportioned with a conservatory leading to a modest rear garden, making day-to-day family life straightforward. The basement conversion increases usable space and could provide an income stream or independent annexe subject to any required consents. Commuters will value the short walk to Dover Priory station and good road links to Canterbury and London.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the building is solid brick with no cavity insulation, external walls likely uninsulated; front paving and boundary wall show wear and would benefit from refurbishment. The rear garden is functional but cluttered and would need tidying to maximise usable space. The local area has higher-than-average crime levels and is in a very deprived ward, which may concern some buyers or affect long-term demand.
Overall this is a versatile period property for a family seeking space and character, an investor targeting multi-occupancy or a purchaser looking for an owner-occupied home with rental help from a basement flat. The property’s size and split-level layout give clear scope for improvement and value uplift with targeted renovation and external repairs.
