This Victorian four-bedroom end-of-terrace offers clear investment and refurbishment potential in central Dover. Arranged over two floors, the layout currently provides two reception rooms, two kitchen/diners and two bathrooms — useful for multi-occupancy conversion or to create a larger family home. Period features such as a bay window and high ceilings give character; the footprint is compact at about 706 sq ft, so internal space is economical.
The property sits on a decent plot with a rear garden and a first-floor deck, providing outdoor space that’s rare for central locations. Utilities are conventional: mains gas boiler with radiator heating and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal already in place. There is no flood risk and the tenure is freehold, which simplifies purchase for investors or buyers planning long-term works.
Important negatives are candid: the area ranks as very deprived with high local crime and constrained rental/aspiration indicators, which will affect tenant demand and resale values. The building is pre-1900 with solid brick walls and no added cavity insulation assumed, so expect energy-efficiency upgrades and modernisation work. The overall size is small for a four-bedroom property, and significant refurbishment is likely required to unlock full value.
This property suits buyers seeking a renovation project or investors targeting a refurbishment or multi-let conversion in a central Dover location. Local amenities and several highly rated schools are nearby, but factor in the neighbourhood challenges and retrofit costs when assessing yield or family suitability.
