This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Whitstable Road offers a compact, accessible retirement option close to Canterbury city centre. The flat benefits from its own private entrance, garden, garage and off-road parking — practical features that are increasingly rare in central locations. Offered chain free, it’s suitable for someone seeking a manageable home with outside space and simple access.
The property is small (about 429 sq ft) and requires modernisation throughout. It is a timber-frame build with assumed lack of insulation, so buyers should budget for upgrades to heating, insulation and general décor. The kitchen, bathroom and living areas are dated; renovation would improve comfort and resale or rental potential.
For over-60s there is an option to buy a Lifetime Lease via the Home for Life plan from Homewise. The full market price is £180,000 and the illustrative Lifetime Lease guide price for this property is £119,500 (around a 33% saving), though the actual price depends on age and circumstances and may allow purchasing up to a 50% share. If you are under 60 you can still purchase at the full market price.
Overall this flat suits a downsizer or retiree who values proximity to the city and wants a compact, ground-floor home to personalise. It also represents a renovation opportunity for investors mindful of the building’s age and likely improvement costs.
