Description
A fixer up opportunity This historic home, circa 1765, is a charming cape in need of some TLC that comfortably overlooks the Canterbury Green and is within walking distance of the Prudence Crandall Museum. It blends historic character with modern day convenience such as a grand Quaker wood stove with 2 built-in Frigidaire ovens in its amazing kitchen. An adjacent pantry/laundry/mud room could be perfect for a half bath addition. The dining & living rooms each have a wood-burning fireplace. A master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an adjacent full bath with a new shower tub unit complete the main floor. Two modest sized bedrooms are located on the upper level. A door off the kitchen leads to a screened in porch and fenced in back yard where extensive perennials and a fish pond await attention. New septic tank installed in 2003. Property being sold "AS IS"

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI grew up in Canterbury and lived in caterbury and this school was one of my worst memories, the upper level teachers are wonderful but the 6th and 5th grade teacher are anything but. I was severely bullied and no one did anything about it. I am now in hogh school and the lack of a proper math education shows. I am in all honors classes but math and their are kids that are doing algebra 1 in middle school but im doing it freshman year. Moving on from the education aspect, the counciling and mental health services were the worst ever. I could have had dead parents and the councilor could have made it worse. I empathize with anyone who was forced to endure 4 years there.Other Review3y ago - Canterbury Elementary School
