Summary - 26, Tennyson Avenue CT1 1EN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact one-bedroom flat — ideal first-time buy or rental near universities.
One-bedroom first-floor flat, 520 sq ft
This one-bedroom first-floor flat on Tennyson Avenue offers a compact, well-located apartment for a first-time buyer or an investor targeting the Canterbury rental market. The accommodation includes a reception room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and three-piece bathroom, with double glazing and gas central heating throughout. The 520 sq ft layout is traditional and straightforward; the flat is ready to occupy but modest in scale.
The property’s location is a key draw: it lies within easy walking distance of Canterbury city centre and Canterbury Christ Church University, with good bus and rail links to Canterbury East/West and onward to London. Permit parking is available on-street, and local amenities, shops and cafés are nearby, making day-to-day living convenient.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold and is being sold by auction under the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and the Buyer Information Pack fee (£349 including VAT). Personal data will be shared with the auctioneer and completion is required within a 56-day reservation period. If you require mortgage finance, confirm affordability and lender requirements before bidding.
Be candid about the local context: the area shows signs of economic deprivation and the recorded crime level is very high, which may affect resale or rental demand and insurance costs. The block dates from the mid-20th century; while services are present and the flat is neutrally presented, buyers should inspect for any maintenance needs, ventilation issues in the kitchen, and review lease terms and management arrangements before proceeding.
