This three-bedroom property located on Somerset Road in Canterbury presents a mixed bag of attributes. The location within Canterbury is advantageous, providing access to schools, transport links, and the city centre’s amenities. The proximity to Barton Court Grammar School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, is a particularly attractive feature for families. The property benefits from a garden which while modest provides outdoor space. However, the property’s condition is a significant drawback. The interior photos reveal dated decor, requiring considerable modernisation to enhance the property’s living standards. Wallpaper damage, worn flooring, and an outdated kitchen suggest a need for extensive refurbishment. The listing price of £300,000 reflects the property’s location within Canterbury, but the substantial renovation costs should be considered. A buyer’s valuation would depend heavily on their willingness and ability to undertake the necessary refurbishment. The lack of precise plot size and square footage data for comparable properties in the area makes a precise price per square foot comparison difficult, impacting a definitive assessment of the list price’s value. Overall, this property represents a potentially worthwhile investment for someone with DIY skills or access to renovation financing, but a buyer should carefully assess the cost and time commitment of refurbishment before committing to a purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
