Summary - 237 OLD DOVER ROAD CANTERBURY CT1 3ES
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Versatile family home with annexe and garden studio near Canterbury amenities.
Five double bedrooms plus dressing area and ensuite
A substantial extended family home offering over 2,600 sq ft of flexible living across three floors, designed for multi-generational life or home working. The loft conversion creates a private principal suite with dressing area and ensuite, while a self-contained annexe adds genuine rental or guest potential. A large rear garden and detached studio provide extra workspace and leisure options.
Internally the house combines period features—bay windows and wide frontage—with contemporary open-plan living. The kitchen/breakfast room and connecting reception spaces have high ceilings and sliding/bifold doors that open to a patio, making the layout practical for daily family life and entertaining. A boutique-style family bathroom and well-appointed principal suite give a modern, hotel-like feel to the upper floors.
Practical positives include a wide driveway with ample off-street parking, mains gas central heating and fast broadband suitable for remote working. The location gives easy access to Canterbury’s schools, shops and transport links including Canterbury West station and the A2.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the house was built in the 1930s–40s and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect heating costs. Double glazing install dates are unknown. Council tax is above average. The property sits on a main road, which may influence noise for some buyers despite private rear garden privacy.
