Compact retirement-friendly flat near Canterbury West Station and city amenities.
Top-floor apartment — light and private position
This top-floor two-bedroom apartment sits a short walk from Canterbury West Station and the city centre, offering a compact, low-maintenance base in a well-kept red-brick development. The open-plan living area and modern fitted kitchen create a light, straightforward layout suited to relaxed city living. Double glazing and recent communal upkeep add practical comfort.
The property is offered through a Lifetime Lease example for over-60s: a guide Lifetime Lease price of £139,000 (indicative saving against the £210,000 market value). The plan allows buyers aged 60+ to purchase up to 50% of the property value, with the exact price varying by age and circumstances. The flat is chain-free and has 98 years remaining on the lease.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters, broadband speeds are slow, and the average service charge is £1,440 annually. The apartment is small (approximately 496 sq ft) and suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a commuter base rather than a family home. The area is lively and convenient, with excellent public transport links and local amenities close by, but local crime levels are reported as high.
Overall, this flat offers a manageable, move-in-ready option for an older buyer seeking proximity to the station and city amenities, with the Lifetime Lease route providing a possible way to reduce upfront cost while safeguarding a share of value for the future.
