Private rear garden with scope for landscaping or extension (subject to consent)

This mid-terraced Victorian property sits just outside Canterbury’s city walls and is offered chain free for a buyer ready to renovate. The house has period character, solid brick walls and a private rear garden — a clear canvas for a sympathetic refurbishment that could unlock strong rental or resale value in a student-and-professional neighbourhood.
The accommodation totals approximately 840 sq ft with two bedrooms, a reception and a separate kitchen/family space. Key services include electric storage heaters and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. The freehold tenure and central location make this straightforward for investors or buyers seeking a close-in first home once upgraded.
Important practical points: the property requires a complete refurbishment throughout, and the walls are likely uninsulated. Heating is electric storage, and internal services and fixtures should be assumed non-operational until checked. The area has higher crime statistics and is classified as deprived, which is relevant for lettings and resale timing.
For investors, the proximity to shops, public transport and nearby schools supports strong letting demand to students and young professionals. For an owner-occupier prepared to carry out works, the property offers scope to create a comfortable two-bedroom home in a well-connected city location.
