Chain-free 3/4-bed terraced house with south garden and proven HMO income potential.
Chain-free freehold terraced house in CT2
A versatile three/four-bedroom mid-century terraced house in CT2, offered chain-free and with a documented HMO history. The ground floor provides a large kitchen-diner to the front, a lounge with patio doors leading to a private south-facing garden, and a flexible room that can be used as a fourth bedroom, dining room or home office. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
This property has been a successful HMO since 2006 with last year’s rental income of £1,600 pcm (excluding utilities), making it attractive to investors seeking a city-centre letting opportunity close to universities and local amenities. Alternatively, first-time buyers can adapt the layout for family living or shared occupancy. The home benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to Canterbury’s high street and transport links.
Practical points to note: the house is small overall (879 sq ft) and has one bathroom for up to four bedrooms. The exterior and garage require modernization; the property is presented as needing upgrading rather than being move-in ready. Parking is unrestricted, unallocated on-street only. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan student area with above-average crime statistics, which is relevant for buyers considering lettings or family use.
Chain-free freehold, council tax band C, no known property-related issues. For buyers wanting an income-producing asset or a project near the universities and city centre, this home offers clear potential with scope for improvement and efficient management.
