About this home
A rare opportunity to buy a very pretty mid-terraced cottage in an unrivalled location close to the City Centre.
This exquisite Grade II Listed terraced cottage is set in the heart of the Oaten Hill Conservation Area on Dover Street.
The house dates from the mid 19th century and is arranged over two floors with a good attic room and a cellar, with mellow brick elevations, a slate roof and sash windows. Having been in the same family ownership and let for many years, the property is now available for sale and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
Ideally located just outside the city walls, it is well placed for local facilities, including a nearby Waitrose. It is an easy walk to both Canterbury East and Canterbury West Railway Stations, with the High Speed Service to London St Pancras in 56 minutes from the West Station.
The front door opens to the hall with a living room with an ornamental fireplace off, an inner hall with the staircase to the first floor and stairs down to a useful cellar. To the back of the house is a larger dining room and a kitchen with a door to outside. A utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and a gas boiler leads to the bathroom.
On the first floor are two good sized double bedrooms, a landing with a wardrobe and on the second floor is a further double bedroom with a wardrobe and eaves storage. Unusually, this has good head room and could be adaptable for use as a home office.
At the back of the house is a courtyard garden.
Agent’s Note: The property is in the same ownership as 39 Dover Street, which is also currently for sale. The title will be split. The boundary wall between the properties is a party wall and the new fence dividing the gardens will be jointly owned. The water supply serving 38 Dover Street comes from No. 39 and their drains run into the No. 38 drains. The appropriate rights & reservations will be detailed in the respective transfers.
