Description

This semi-detached home along Folkestone Road presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with potential for further enhancement. Spread across four levels, the accommodation retains its period charm while offering modern upgrades that can be built upon. The first floor features a welcoming lounge that transitions into an adjoining dining room through stylish glazed doors, ensuring a bright and airy atmosphere. The lower ground floor is designed for spacious living, featuring an open-plan kitchen and dining area centered around a log burner and highlighted by a bay window that floods the space with natural light. Notably, this level also includes a partially finished walk-in wet room and offers independent access through an additional front entrance, providing flexibility for various uses. Despite recent improvements such as underfloor heating, upgraded electrics and plumbing, and new carpets, there are areas waiting for personal touches from new owners—particularly in terms of finishing touches which could enhance both aesthetic appeal and value. The property includes three efficient wood burners with lined chimneys that add warmth and character throughout the home. On the upper floors, you'll find two large bedrooms equipped with functioning wood-burning stoves alongside a centrally located WC on the landing, while the top floor hosts an impressive principal bedroom featuring multiple Velux windows and an in-room bath for serene relaxation. The external garden area remains largely untouched, presenting homeowners with the chance to cultivate their dream outdoor space tailored to their needs—whether it’s for entertaining or solitary enjoyment. Located conveniently near Dover Priory station with high-speed rail links to London St Pancras and excellent road connectivity via the A2 to Canterbury city center, this property combines accessibility with characterful living spaces ripe for renovation.
