Chain-free one-bedroom close to Canterbury city centre with communal facilities.
River Stour views from second-floor windows
A compact, second-floor retirement flat with direct views over the River Stour, perfectly placed for easy access to Canterbury city centre. The building is a converted mill with characterful brickwork and high ceilings in parts, while the flat itself offers a practical one-bedroom layout with a separate kitchen, shower room and a light lounge/diner. Lift access, a warden service, communal gardens, residents’ lounge and laundry add convenience for over-60s buyers seeking low-effort living.
This is a chain-free sale with 96 years remaining on the lease, making it straightforward to move into quickly. The property includes off-street residents’ parking and benefits from excellent mobile signal and average broadband — useful for staying connected with family and services. Room sizes are modest (total c.351 sq ft), so the flat suits someone wanting a small, central home rather than extensive living space.
Buyers should note material costs and constraints: the annual service charge is high (c. £3,973) and ground rent is £513 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building has medium flood risk in this riverside location. The area shows higher crime and local deprivation indicators; these factors, together with the modest floor area, are important when weighing ongoing running costs and security needs.
For the right retiree who values proximity to shops, cafés, transport and Canterbury’s amenities, this flat offers low-maintenance, community-supported living with attractive river views and period character. It is best suited to someone prioritising location and communal support over space and low service costs.
