This spacious two-bedroom basement flat blends period character with contemporary decorating to create a comfortable city-centre home. Large rooms and high ceilings give an airy feel, while a bay-windowed living room provides a focal point for day-to-day living and entertaining. The property includes a practical utility room and well-sized double bedrooms.
Positioned close to Canterbury city centre with excellent transport links, the flat suits first‑time buyers wanting easy access to shops, universities and public transport, as well as investors seeking a lettable city apartment. The long lease (990 years) removes immediate lease term concerns and the solid Victorian build has enduring appeal.
Buyers should note material running costs and fabric considerations: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,500, and the building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation. Double glazing predates 2002, and some energy-efficiency improvements may be beneficial. Outdoor space is limited to communal parking; there is no private garden or notable outlook from the flat.
Overall this is a well-presented, move-in-ready flat that offers generous room sizes and classic features in a convenient city location, but budget for ongoing service charges and potential efficiency upgrades.
