Summary - DEANS MILL COURT FLAT 2 THE CAUSEWAY CANTERBURY CT1 2BF
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Ground-floor, chain-free retirement flat close to Canterbury city centre with lift and communal facilities.
Ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat, convenient city-centre location
A compact, ground-floor retirement flat within easy walking distance of Canterbury city centre, designed for independent over-60s who prioritise convenience. The apartment sits in a Georgian Revival block with lift access, a resident warden, communal lounge, laundry and well-kept communal gardens — useful shared facilities for residents who want low-maintenance living and social space.
The layout offers a longer lounge/diner, two bedrooms and a modest kitchen and shower room across about 507 sq ft. Chain free and with a lift to the floors above, it is straightforward to move into. The building's construction (circa late 1990s–early 2000s) and double glazing are practical, and the location close to shops, cafes, transport and local amenities is a genuine convenience.
Important negatives are clear and should affect buying decisions. The lease has around 68 years remaining; this is short enough that some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Service charges are high at approximately £6,370 per year and ground rent is about £500 annually — both add a significant ongoing cost. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity (no communal system), and there is a medium flood risk reported for the area. The local area records higher crime and some deprivation indicators.
This property will suit a downsizer or retired buyer seeking central, low-maintenance accommodation with communal support and social facilities. It is less suitable for buyers who need a long lease to secure a mortgage, those wanting low running costs, or anyone requiring guaranteed peace-of-mind on local crime and flood exposure. All lease, service charge and flood-risk details should be verified by a solicitor before proceeding.
