Description
Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is being sold with no onward chain and offers scope for updating. The ground floor has a lounge, a separate dining room and a kitchen, while upstairs are three bedrooms with built-in storage and a bathroom with a bath, WC and wash basin.
Outside, the property has a rear garden, a garage and off-road parking for at least two cars. It is on a residential no-through road close to Canterbury University, local amenities and schools, with a post office and newsagents within walking distance. The listing describes the house as requiring updating, giving buyers the opportunity to make changes to suit their needs.
The sale is through the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should review the reservation agreement, buyer information pack, fees and completion requirements, and carry out their own checks on the property and its services.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £220,000, this three-bedroom semi has useful fundamentals: a separate lounge and dining room, parking for at least two cars, a garage and a generous rear garden. The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The modern-method auction terms also include a reservation fee, so check the buyer information and full terms before proceeding.
This is a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh: several photographed rooms show dated finishes and deterioration, with staining in places, and the garden is heavily overgrown. In return, there is scope to rework the ground-floor space, update the interior and reclaim the garden; no clear major structural failure is visible in the photos.
Key opportunities
- The separate lounge and dining room provide a starting point for exploring the described potential to open up the ground-floor space, subject to feasibility.
- A full interior programme can reshape the dated finishes, including the worn kitchen and bathroom, and refresh the photographed living spaces.
- The garage, parking for at least two cars and generous rear garden add practical appeal; clearing and improving the overgrown garden could make better use of the outdoor space.
Key risks
- Several photographed rooms show deterioration and staining in places, including near wall bases and ceiling edges; investigate the cause and extent before setting the programme.
- Stripped-back condition across multiple rooms, alongside the worn kitchen and bathroom and overgrown garden, means planning for a heavy, multi-area programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
