This former chiropractic clinic is in need of some special treatment to make it into a family home for the 21st century.

Permission has just been granted to change the use of the old clinic into a private dwelling.

The current accommodation is arranged over three floors and a cellar. The house has lots of light-filled rooms, which – with some imagination and a little flair – will soon be the makings of a great six-bedroom family home.

As well as a large kitchen/breakfast room, the house has three reception rooms and a first-floor balcony at the back. All mains services are laid on.

The new owners will need to put some backbone into sorting out the large walled garden as it is currently completely overgrown.

The property has a garage and off-street parking, and is half a mile from the centre of Canterbury.

Canterbury West station is just over two miles away. The high-speed link to London St Pancras from Canterbury West station takes under an hour. St Augustine’s Road is just off New Dover Road, a short walk from the Canterbury College campus.

Address: St Augustine’s Road, Canterbury
