This mid-terrace Victorian house on Folkestone Road offers a chain-free entry to Dover’s Maxton area, close to the town centre and main-line station. Spread over two storeys, the straightforward layout includes a lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility and ground-floor WC, with three bedrooms and a bathroom above. The rear garden provides outdoor space for planting or a small seating area.
The property will suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out some updating. Gas central heating, double glazing and a D (64) energy rating are already in place, but the house needs cosmetic and some structural updates — the garden is neglected and parts of the interior will require modernisation. Solid brick walls likely lack insulation, so consider insulating improvements when renovating.
Location is a strong selling point: short walks to Dover Priory station (fast London link), St James retail and leisure amenities, good primary schools nearby and accessible road links to the A20/M20. Council Tax Band C and freehold tenure add practical value.
Realistic buyers should budget for renovation work and garden clearance, but those improvements will unlock the home’s period features and central location. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the space and potential on offer.
