Description

This charming semi-detached home from the 1930s presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a sought-after cul-de-sac in South Canterbury. With driveway parking and a garage, this property offers both convenience and potential for enhancement, making it an attractive prospect for those looking to personalize their space or expand its value. Upon entering, you're greeted by an entrance hall with elegant hardwood flooring that extends throughout much of the ground floor. To the left, the inviting sitting room features a bay window that floods the room with natural light, complemented by traditional elements such as an open fireplace and picture rails that capture the essence of its era. The adjacent dining room also showcases a feature fireplace and provides access to a garden room—an ideal spot for relaxation or even pet owners seeking a tranquil area overlooking the garden. The kitchen exudes a cozy, country cottage vibe with its wooden cabinets and integrated appliances, including an oven and electric hob. Though functional as is, there is substantial scope for future renovations; opening up the kitchen to create an expansive open-plan dining area could transform the living space significantly. The current layout allows for some dining furniture, but many buyers may envision removing walls to increase connectivity between rooms or even considering rear extensions to enhance livability further. Upstairs comprises three bedrooms—two spacious doubles and a family bathroom equipped with a shower-over-bath arrangement. The main bedroom benefits from another bay window providing serene views of the surrounding area. Outside, the generous rear garden serves as a blank canvas awaiting your creative vision. Whether you aspire to cultivate vibrant flower beds or prefer low-maintenance outdoor entertaining areas complete with barbecues, this versatile space offers ample privacy thanks to its position adjacent to a single-storey hospital building. Located on Canterbury's desirable south side, this property is within walking distance of esteemed educational institutions such as Langton Grammar Schools and St. Anselm’s Catholic School. Additionally, it is conveniently situated near both Kent & Canterbury Hospital and Chaucer Hospital—ideal for medical professionals seeking proximity to work. Residents enjoy quick access to both local amenities—including cafes and grocery options—and beautiful countryside surroundings. Effective transport links are readily available with nearby bus stops offering routes into Canterbury's city center and easy connections to major roadways like the A2. The area also benefits from two mainline train stations providing services toward London St. Pancras. In summary, this property not only reflects timeless charm but offers significant renovation potential in an attractive location—a perfect combination for those looking to invest in
