Summary - ST. STEPHENS HOUSE, 22 FLAT 9 ST STEPHENS ROAD CANTERBURY CT2 7HT
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Period three-bedroom flat with private garden, parking and long lease close to Canterbury West.
Private entrance with own courtyard and access to large communal gardens
Allocated off-street parking included at end of garden
Share of freehold with a long 961-year lease
Three bedrooms across a split-level, high-ceiling layout
Signs of damp and mould in at least one room; needs remediation
High flood risk for the location — mitigation likely required
Area records higher crime levels; factor into security/insurance
Slow broadband and solid-brick walls likely need insulation upgrades
This split-level, three-bedroom ground-floor flat combines period character with practical outdoor space and strong transport links. Set within a red-brick Victorian building, it benefits from a private entrance, its own courtyard, access to large communal gardens and an allocated parking space — rare for a city-centre flat. The long lease (961 years) and share of freehold offer security for buyers and investors.
Internally the layout provides a generous lounge, separate kitchen and three bedrooms across an efficient plan. High ceilings and original features supply character, but parts of the property show wear: one room displays damp and mould, some windows are single-glazed, and general modernisation is needed throughout. Broadband speeds are slow and there are solid-brick walls likely lacking insulation, so buyers should budget for improvements to heating, glazing and internal finishes.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Canterbury West station and the city centre makes commuting and student rental demand strong. However, the property sits in a high flood-risk and higher-crime area — these are material considerations for occupation or letting. Service charges are moderate; council tax is described as cheap. Offered chain-free with vacant possession, the flat is ready for immediate occupation or renovation-led uplift.
This home suits a first-time buyer willing to modernise for long-term living, or an investor seeking a centrally located, character property with garden and parking. Full inspection and professional surveys are recommended to quantify damp, insulation and flood-risk mitigation costs.
