Summary - 9 HOLMAN MEWS, CANTERBURY CT1 3JE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Secure gated setting walking distance to Canterbury centre and stations.
Chain-free one-bedroom top-floor apartment, approx 483 sq ft
Set within a secure gated development a short walk from Canterbury city centre and mainline stations, this chain-free one-bedroom top-floor apartment offers straightforward urban living. The bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen area creates a practical social space, while the bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room and elevated views across the neighbourhood.
Practical features include a private garage, communal decked garden, double glazing (install date unknown) and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The building dates from c.1996–2002 and the flat totals approximately 483 sq ft — a manageable size for a first-time buyer or a single professional tenant.
This is a leasehold property with 96 years remaining. Annual service charge averages £1,912 and ground rent is £150 per year — factor these into affordability and rental calculations. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. The local area is lively and cosmopolitan, close to good primary and secondary schools and quick rail links to London (around an hour to St Pancras).
Notable drawbacks are the higher local crime levels recorded for the area and the limited remaining lease term compared with new-builds. Walls are timber-frame (assumed) and double glazing install date is unknown, so buyers wanting long-term security should check fabric, building warranties and lease extension costs. Overall, this flat suits first-time buyers seeking a city-base or investors targeting Canterbury’s rental market, provided running costs and lease position are acceptable.
