This semi-detached home offers a promising opportunity for renovation and investment in a coveted cul-de-sac in Rough Common. With three bedrooms, the property features a long rear garden adorned with mature shrubs and a small pond, making it an ideal outdoor space for gardening enthusiasts or nature lovers. While the interiors require cosmetic updates — including the installation of gas central heating — this home presents a blank canvas for those looking to infuse their personal style.
Entering the property through an elegant arched brick porch, you’re greeted by an entrance hall with useful under-stairs storage. To your left is a bright living room featuring a boxed bay window that invites natural light. The separate dining room boasts views of the garden, while the kitchen at the rear can be reimagined; many neighboring homes have successfully opened up the kitchen and dining areas to create spacious kitchen/diners with French doors leading outside. The first floor accommodates two sizable double bedrooms, a third single bedroom, and a family bathroom, offering comfortable living spaces that can be enhanced through modern renovations.
Located approximately one mile northwest of Canterbury city center, Lovell Road is known for its tranquil atmosphere and family-friendly environment. The area is particularly attractive to families due to its proximity to highly regarded schools, including Blean Primary School, which has received an outstanding rating from Ofsted. Additionally, esteemed institutions such as Kent College and St. Edmund’s are within walking distance, along with access to various grammar and comprehensive secondary schools available in Canterbury.
Conveniently situated near local amenities—including a convenience store and post office—this property also benefits from nearby bus routes for easy access to the city center. For nature enthusiasts, Rough Common and neighboring Blean provide scenic walking paths through ancient woodlands and green fields, including designated areas like Barn Dog Field where pets can roam freely.
For commuters, Canterbury West Station is accessible by car or bike within minutes, providing high-speed rail services into London St. Pancras in under an hour. Moreover, the location offers straightforward access to the A2/M2 for those traveling by road.
This property stands not only as a comfortable home but also as an exciting project ripe with potential for enhancement and personalization in one of Canterbury's most desirable neighborhoods.
