This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits within a converted Victorian hospital on Canterbury’s desirable south side. The building retains period character — exposed brick exterior and high ceilings — combined with a modern open-plan reception and kitchen that enjoys a dual aspect and plenty of natural light. The master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en suite; a second double also includes fitted storage. The flat comes with an allocated off-street parking space and access to communal gardens, making city-centre living more practical.
The location is a strong asset for first-time buyers: it’s within walking distance of the historic city centre, local supermarkets, Kent & Canterbury Hospital and Canterbury East station (direct trains to London). Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools — including two grammar schools rated highly — are close by, adding family-flexibility despite the apartment size. The property is offered chain free for a quicker move.
Practical points to note: the apartment is leasehold with around 100 years remaining, a service charge averaging £2,700 pa and a small ground rent of £150 pa. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators; main fuel is electricity. Broadband speeds are average. Prospective buyers should verify the condition and working order of fixtures, fittings and services (no tests have been carried out). These factors are important when budgeting running costs and any future improvements.
Overall, this home suits a buyer seeking characterful, well-located accommodation with ready access to city amenities and transport. It offers a straightforward purchase route and immediate usability, while the leasehold charges and electric heating are practical considerations for ongoing costs and long-term plans.
