Description

This charming grade II listed home is located within a short distance of the City Centre, providing an excellent blend of character and convenience. The property’s location is a significant advantage for those seeking easy access to urban amenities, including a variety of shops, restaurants, and nightlife options. Nearby, residents will find a Waitrose supermarket for everyday needs, as well as the tranquil Dane John Gardens and the bustling Whitefriars shopping area. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to both East and West train stations, with the latter offering high-speed connections to London. Having served as a well-maintained rental for the past 12 years, this property presents a noteworthy opportunity for renovation and investment. A new boiler was installed in 2024, ensuring some key updates have already been taken care of. The home features three floors of living space behind its attractive red brick exterior. Entering through the front door reveals a cozy sitting room that boasts a feature fireplace and built-in alcove shelving. The stained-glass door adds a touch of historical charm that enhances the character of the home. This space flows into a separate dining room, which leads to a compact kitchen at the rear. A unique cellar accessed from the dining area offers additional storage or potential for conversion into extra living space—ideal for a snug or home office. On the first floor, you’ll find a generously sized main bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room, alongside a smaller double bedroom at the back. Ascending to the top floor unveils an unexpected gem—a charming bathroom featuring a roll-top bath amid exposed brickwork and sloping ceilings. This level also includes another versatile room that could function as an additional bedroom or peaceful retreat. While there is no allocated parking with this property, residents have the option to acquire a parking permit from the council (subject to availability) in St. George’s Zone at an annual cost of £88. Additionally, there may be options available for permits at Holman’s Meadow car park situated just behind your residence; interested parties should inquire about pricing with local authorities. The surrounding area boasts numerous amenities such as dental services, pharmacies, and doctors' surgeries—all within walking distance. The location is particularly appealing to medical professionals due to its closeness to Kent & Canterbury Hospital and offers access to several esteemed schools like Barton Court Grammar School and St. Anselm's School, contributing further value to this property as an investment opportunity in South Canterbury's thriving community.
