CT17 9SU is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Percival Terrace, 0.2km from Clarendon in Dover. Administratively it sits within Town & Castle ward and the Dover constituency.

For families considering a move, CT17 9SU represents a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. An average age of 35 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 59% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 58 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £134k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 20.8% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
