Summary - 486 The Rope Walk, Canterbury, Kent, CT1 CT1 2FY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom city retreat near station and amenities.
No onward chain — ready for a quick sale
Set on the second floor of a contemporary low‑rise development, this one-bedroom flat offers bright open-plan living and partial views over the River Stour. The layout suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking low‑maintenance city-centre accommodation close to Canterbury High Street and the East station.
Practical details include a 104-year lease, average overall size of 527 sq ft, and double glazing throughout. The fitted kitchen is modern and the open living space benefits from good natural light, making the flat feel larger than its footprint suggests. No onward chain makes for a straightforward purchase process.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone and the wider area records higher-than-average crime levels — both factors to consider for insurance and long-term suitability. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property incurs an annual service charge around £2,000. These factors temper running costs and should form part of your budgeting.
For investors, the central Canterbury location, nearby universities and transport links give reliable rental demand, particularly from students or young professionals. For owner-occupiers, this is an affordable entry point to Canterbury living, provided you’re comfortable with leasehold ownership, limited private outdoor space, and the flood-risk implications.
