Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom, one-bathroom house in Rough Common, Canterbury, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for potential buyers. Located in a desirable residential area, the property benefits from its proximity to good schools like Blean Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) and convenient access to Canterbury West and East train stations. The house itself offers spacious living areas, including two well-lit reception rooms and a kitchen with access to the garden. The garden, while present, appears relatively small.
However, the property’s condition requires attention. The interior décor and fixtures appear dated and could benefit from a significant modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, look like they need updating. This would likely involve considerable investment to bring them up to modern standards.
The list price of £495,000 appears reasonable, considering the location and size, but potential buyers should factor in the cost of necessary renovations. A thorough survey would be essential to identify any potential structural issues or hidden problems before committing to a purchase. Overall, this property offers a solid foundation in a desirable location but requires significant investment to reach its full potential.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
