Summary - Station Road West, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 CT2 8AN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ready-to-move home with private balcony and gated parking.
First-floor Victorian conversion with high ceilings and large windows
Bright, newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor flat in a converted Victorian building moments from Canterbury West station. High ceilings and large arched windows create an airy, characterful living space; the open-plan living/kitchen is enhanced by a private balcony — the only one in the block — and bespoke storage. Allocated gated parking includes an EV charging point and convenient access to city amenities and fast rail links to London.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (973 years), share of freehold, mains gas central heating and a recent fibre broadband installation. The finish is move-in ready with contemporary flooring and a sleek shower room; a utility cupboard houses laundry appliances to free up living space.
Notable considerations: the immediate neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan student and professional area with higher local crime levels reported; buyers should visit by day and evening. Broadband speeds are currently slow despite fibre being in place. Service charge is about ,2784 per year and council tax is above average. The building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls likely lacking modern insulation, which may affect heating costs and could present refurbishment potential for energy improvements.
This property suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a low-maintenance, character-rich city-edge home with secure parking and excellent transport links, and for investors seeking reliable rental demand in a busy student/professional catchment.
