Quietly tucked on New Dover Road, this two-bedroom apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance base close to Canterbury city centre. The principal bedroom includes an en suite and both bedrooms are double-size, while a large open-plan kitchen/living area provides flexible space for everyday life or rental occupancy. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working and student or professional tenants.
The block is modern (built early 2000s) and benefits from double glazing and gated private parking — a rare plus for city apartments. The flat sits on a 105-year lease and has communal maintenance in place, which keeps external upkeep handled for you.
Notable running costs and limitations are clear: the service charge is substantial at around £3,900 per year, heating is by electric room heaters (no gas central heating), and there is no private garden. The local area is a cosmopolitan mix of students and professionals, with good transport links to London and local universities, but recorded crime levels in the immediate area are high.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-use city home or an investor wanting a centrally located rental with strong connectivity. Viewings are advisable to assess the layout and finish in person and to weigh ongoing costs against the convenience and rental demand in this part of Canterbury.
