Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac just a short walk from Canterbury East station, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers a clear renovation project with practical benefits already in place. The property has driveway parking, an extended garage and a low-maintenance rear garden, making it suitable for buyers seeking a manageable first home or a buy-to-let with scope to add value.
The interior requires updating throughout: the layout provides two good double bedrooms, a single bedroom or home office, a generous living room and a conservatory that leads to the rear garden. Double glazing was installed post-2002, but heating is supplied by room heaters on mains gas and the property will need modernisation to contemporary standards.
Significant positives include a wide side plot that could offer scope for extension or redevelopment subject to planning permission, and excellent local connections to Canterbury city centre, universities and amenities. However, the house is being sold by Modern Method of Auction — buyers should note the Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £7,080 inc VAT), a Buyer Information Pack fee (£300 inc VAT) and other auction-related costs before bidding.
This home suits a hands-on first-time buyer or an investor prepared to carry out improvement work. With sensible refurbishment, the layout and location provide realistic potential to increase living comfort and market value.
