Description

Situated within a short walking distance of the vibrant city center, this two-bedroom semi-detached home offers a promising opportunity for renovation-minded buyers, investors, or young families seeking to establish their roots. The property features off-road parking via a private driveway, ensuring convenience amidst the urban setting. Upon entering, you are met with a spacious hallway that leads to a practical ground floor WC. The interior layout comprises two distinct reception areas: a bright and inviting living room at the front and a larger dining room at the rear that connects seamlessly to the kitchen. This configuration allows for potential reconfiguration to create an open-plan living space, enhancing its appeal. The upstairs accommodation includes two generously-sized double bedrooms along with a well-appointed family bathroom. The existing structure holds significant potential for modernization and personalization, making it an ideal choice for those who envision putting their own stamp on their home. Additionally, there is considerable scope for expansion; subject to planning permissions, extensions could be added to both the side and rear of the property. There may also be opportunities for garden development at the rear, which could further increase the property's value. Located in Canterbury, this home benefits from its proximity to essential amenities such as shops, educational institutions like the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University, and various recreational options. Residents can enjoy local boutiques and cafés along Kings Mile while easily accessing outdoor activities in nearby parks or sports facilities. Transport links are strong with two mainline railway stations offering convenient routes to London St Pancras and easy access to the A2 dual carriageway connecting to major roadways leading towards coastal towns and Dover. This property represents an exceptional opportunity not only for personal enhancement but also as a strategic investment in a desirable area poised for growth.
