Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac in central Dover, this two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian townhouse offers clear value for first-time buyers and investors. The ground floor provides an open-plan lounge and dining area with high ceilings and a bright single window; the upstairs houses two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is offered freehold and benefits from double glazing (unknown install date), mains gas central heating and fast broadband.
For buyers seeking upside, there is scope to reconfigure into a three-bedroom layout subject to planning permission, and the 845 sq ft footprint gives reasonable internal space for the price. Street parking is available nearby and local amenities — supermarket, shops, pubs and good transport links — are within easy reach. Several well-regarded schools, including Dover Grammar School for Girls, are close by.
Be clear about the practical drawbacks: the area scores as very deprived with very high local crime levels, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy improvements may be needed. The sale is by auction under the Modern Method of Auction and carries a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600), plus the requirement to complete within 56 days — factors important for mortgage and cash planning.
This house suits a buyer wanting a low-price entry into the local market with renovation potential, or an investor targeting rental demand in a town-centre location. Expect some cosmetic and likely insulation or energy-efficiency work to bring the property up to modern standards, but overall it presents an affordable, workable home in a convenient Dover location.
