A practical investment in the heart of Canterbury city walls, this two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of the Old Tannery development. The open-plan living and dining space flows into a sleek modern kitchen; dual-aspect windows bring natural light to the main reception. Two double bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom provide straightforward rental appeal for professionals or students.
The property is currently let (tenants in situ), making it immediately income-generating for a buyer seeking yield. Allocated covered parking nearby is a useful local amenity, and the flat’s location — around 0.2 miles from Canterbury East station and a short walk to the High Street — keeps it attractive to commuters and city-centre renters.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal central system, and the kitchen ceiling is lower than typical in parts of the flat. There is a medium flood risk for the area and local crime levels are reported as high; both are important for underwriting insurance and management costs. Tenure and council tax band are not specified and should be confirmed before exchange.
Constructed in the mid-2000s with double glazing and modern finishes, the apartment offers low immediate maintenance and straightforward letting potential. For investors targeting Canterbury’s student and professional market, this property combines central location, good transport links and ready-made occupancy — provided you factor in insurance, management and potential refurbishment planning.
