This two-bedroom detached house in central Canterbury offers a compact, well-laid-out home with clear strengths for a first-time buyer or investor. The property sits within a complex development with a share of freehold, no forward chain and attractive Cathedral views from the upper bedrooms, plus access to a communal garden for outside space.
Internally the layout is practical: a spacious reception, a large kitchen-diner and a ground-floor shower room, with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The property totals about 817 sq ft and was built in the 2003–2006 period, with double glazing and electric central heating; overall condition appears generally maintained but buyers should verify fixtures and services.
Important sale particulars: the home is offered by the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders must allow for a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £7,080) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee. There is an annual service charge (circa £3,500) and a small ground rent (£50); 105 years remain on the lease despite the share of freehold.
Location is a key draw: immediate access to Canterbury High Street, universities and good transport links, including frequent rail services to London. Note the property sits in a student‑dominated neighbourhood with higher-than-average local crime figures, which may affect rental demand, family suitability and insurance costs.
