3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Heaton Road, Canterbury CT1

*Awaiting EPC*

Guide price £325,000 - £350,000

A charming 1930s semi-detached home with a generous rear garden, situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac within the popular Wincheap area, within walking distance of the city centre and close to Wincheap's highly regarded primary school. Requiring comprehensive renovation throughout, the property presents an exciting opportunity for someone looking to create a wonderful home of their own. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare to find, particularly in such a convenient location.

The property is set back from the pavement behind a walled front garden, with a pathway leading to the front door. While there is currently no driveway parking, a number of neighbouring properties have created off-road parking within their front gardens, suggesting there may be potential to do something similar, subject to any necessary consents.

The front door opens into an entrance hall, with a door to the left leading into a pleasant sitting room, flooded with natural light from a large bay window. An open fireplace with original tiling provides a lovely period feature and attractive focal point to the room.

Further along the hallway is a separate dining room, which also retains an original fireplace, while a door provides direct access out to the rear garden. The gas boiler is currently located within this room. The property benefits from gas central heating to the ground floor, although a new owner would need to extend the system to serve the first floor.

Completing the ground-floor accommodation is the kitchen, positioned adjacent to the dining room. The existing layout offers exciting potential for reconfiguration, with the possibility of opening the two rooms into one another to create a spacious kitchen/dining room. There may also be scope to extend the property, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and is a generous double, enhanced by an attractive bay window. The second bedroom is also a good-sized double and enjoys an outlook over the rear garden, while the third is a single bedroom, ideal as a child's room, nursery or home office. Completing the first floor is the bathroom, currently fitted with a bath, WC and wash basin.

Outside, the generous rear garden provides a wonderful blank canvas for a new owner to create their ideal outdoor space. There is plenty of room for children to play, as well as ample space for outdoor dining and entertaining, or simply relaxing and enjoying the garden. A gated side passage provides convenient access back around to the front of the property.
