4 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for Sale


Canterbury Road, Folkestone, Kent, CT19


Guide Price: £275,000



Property Description


Situated in a highly convenient and sought-after location on Canterbury Road, this substantial four-bedroom semi-detached home offers generous accommodation arranged over three floors, presenting an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project with significant potential.


Requiring full renovation throughout, the property has been sensibly priced to reflect the level of updating required, making it ideal for investors, developers, or buyers looking to create a bespoke family home.


The property is offered vacant with no onward chain, allowing for a straightforward and potentially swift transaction.



Accommodation


The property is arranged over three levels and offers flexible living space:


Lower Ground Floor / Basement Level
A spacious and versatile level currently comprising a sitting room, former kitchen area, hallway, bathroom, additional cloakroom, and a front room with its own private access. This floor offers excellent potential for reconfiguration, though it is likely to require the most improvement works.


Ground Floor
The main entrance level features a generous front reception room with a large bay window and fireplace. To the rear, there is an open-plan kitchen/dining area, offering scope for redesign into a contemporary family space.


First Floor
Upstairs, there are multiple well-proportioned bedrooms accessed from the central hallway, along with the main bathroom. The layout could be reconfigured to create four comfortable bedrooms, with potential for an en-suite and additional storage.



Outside


To the front, the property benefits from a gated entrance and a lawned garden, offering clear potential to be converted into off-road parking or even a double driveway (subject to the necessary planning consents).


There is useful side access via wooden gate leading to the rear garden, as well as direct access to the lower ground floor.


The south facing rear garden is a particular highlight—large, well-maintained, and beautifully established, providing a peaceful and private retreat. The space includes lawned areas and an existing outbuilding. While the outbuilding may require replacement, it offers exciting scope for redevelopment, whether as a garden studio, workspace, or leisure area (subject to permissions).



Location


The property is ideally positioned on a main bus route with easy access into Folkestone town centre, making it highly convenient for daily commuting and amenities.



  • Walking distance to town centre
  • Excellent transport links, including road and rail connections
  • Well-regarded local schools nearby
