This two-bedroom Victorian end‑terrace sits on Kirbys Lane, a short walk from Canterbury West Station and the city centre. The house offers period character—sash windows, a feature fireplace and a handy cellar—paired with genuine scope to modernise and personalise.
Downstairs includes a living room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility area, ground‑floor WC and shower. Upstairs are two bedrooms plus a small cloakroom/dressing room; a pulley‑access loft ladder leads to a roof terrace with views toward the Westgate towers. The property has been rented previously and would suit someone ready to update it for comfortable city living or to restart as a rental.
Practical points are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing and an affordable council tax band. However, the house requires modernisation throughout, may lack cavity wall insulation, and sits in an area with higher crime statistics; broadband speeds are average. These factors are reflected in the asking price and present clear improvement potential for the next owner.
For a first‑time buyer or investor wanting central Canterbury convenience, this home offers a rare combination of location, period charm and scope to add value through renovation.
