This compact Victorian terrace on Lansdown Road offers a characterful first home or buy-to-let close to Canterbury city centre. Sash windows, stripped floorboards and attractive fireplaces give immediate period appeal, while a private, walled courtyard garden provides low-maintenance outdoor space. The house is chain free and a short walk from East Station and local hospitals — convenient for commuters and medical professionals.
The ground floor has a cosy living room with a chimney breast where a wood-burning stove could be considered, and a practical kitchen with gas hob, oven and space for a breakfast bar. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with period fireplaces; the rear bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and loft access. Main heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing was installed post-2002.
Practical considerations: the property is small (570 sq ft) and sits on a very small plot, so outdoor space is limited. The walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated, so improving thermal performance may be needed. Buyers must verify the condition of services and appliances as these have not been tested. Previous rental history demonstrates steady demand from students and professionals, making it suitable for investors as well as owner-occupiers.
Overall this terrace suits a buyer seeking a characterful, well-located starter home or a compact investment with refurbishment potential. The low-maintenance garden and proximity to transport and amenities add clear practical benefits, while opportunities exist to enhance comfort and efficiency with targeted upgrades.
