Description

This freehold period mid-terrace house is set in Whitstable town centre, around 160 yards from the seafront. The ground floor has a 22ft lounge/diner with a brick fireplace and French doors to the rear garden, alongside a fitted kitchen, lobby and family bathroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a loft room reached by a staircase. The enclosed rear garden is mainly paved and has pedestrian access from the rear. The property has gas central heating from a combination boiler and is connected to mains services. The listing notes that damp-proofing work has been carried out and that remedial updating is now required. Windows are described as generally wooden and single glazed. Whitstable station is approximately half a mile away, with bus services nearby and Canterbury around seven miles distant. The house is offered with vacant possession. Its existing accommodation and town-centre position provide a basis for considering updates, subject to inspection and verification of the loft room and previous damp work.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This period mid-terrace has a lot going for it as a light-touch project: a generous lounge/diner, timber floors and a brick fireplace give it character, while the photographed kitchen and bathroom look usable. The compact rear garden could be tidied and the dated finishes refreshed, rather than taking on a major renovation. Its town-centre setting is a standout, with the seafront close by and the station within walking distance.

The score is 55/100, a D and a weaker overall opportunity. At £300,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing; the price comparison needs that information before it can be assessed.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the period finishes while retaining the exposed timber floors and brick fireplace as defining features.
  • Tidy and improve the compact, hard-surfaced rear garden.
  • Make the most of the town-centre position, close to the seafront, bus services and railway station.
