Summary - 36 Dover Street CT1 3HQ
6 bed 5 bath Terraced
Flexible two-home layout close to Canterbury city centre and universities.
- Six bedrooms and five bathrooms across three floors
This substantial timber-framed house, dating from the early 1600s, offers flexible living across three floors and roughly 1,808–1,809 sq ft. The property is currently arranged as two self-contained accommodations with a separating door, making it well suited to rental income, multi-generational use or reinstating a single-family layout. Character features include two original inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and period exterior details.
The layout provides six bedrooms and five bathrooms, two good-sized reception rooms and a modern kitchen area. A walled courtyard garden gives a private outdoor space in a central city location, a short walk from Canterbury’s High Street and university campuses. Mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed pre-2002) and recent pointing to the roof are practical benefits.
Buyers should note this is an older, solid-brick property with internal insulation and the maintenance responsibilities that accompany a Grade-style dwelling. The plot is small and council tax is described as expensive. The area has a higher crime rate and the glazing is older, so any purchaser should budget for ongoing upkeep and potential upgrades (windows, periodic conservation repairs). Planning for mixed commercial/residential use may be possible but would require formal consents.
Overall, the house will appeal to investors seeking a city-centre let close to universities, or buyers after a character home with income potential. It combines historic appeal with flexible accommodation but comes with typical period maintenance and location-related considerations.
