Summary - 61 OLD WATLING STREET CANTERBURY CT1 2DX
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Well-located two-bedroom flat with secure parking and communal gardens.
Chain-free first-floor apartment with lift access
A spacious first-floor apartment in central Canterbury, offered chain-free and ready to move into. Large lounge/diner with balcony doors overlooks well-maintained communal gardens, and the flat includes a secure underground parking space and lift access for convenience. The 883 sq ft layout provides two double bedrooms, an en suite, and a separate bathroom — good for sharers or a small family.
Important practical considerations are clear and factual: the lease has around 55 years remaining and the high ground rent (£2,800 pa) may restrict mortgage options; some lenders could refuse to lend. The property is electrically heated with room heaters rather than gas central heating, broadband speeds are slow, and the area records a very high crime rate. There is also a high local flood risk to be aware of.
For buyers who can manage the lease/ground-rent issues or who plan to buy outright, this apartment offers central convenience, communal outdoor space and secure parking — features that suit students, professionals and investors seeking a lettable, well-located flat. Consider budget for potential lease extension, energy upgrades and improved broadband if long-term ownership is intended.
