This ground-floor flat sits just outside Canterbury city centre and is offered chain-free, making it straightforward for first-time buyers or investors seeking a quick purchase. The layout delivers a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage, a living room with plenty of natural light and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and gas hob.
Practical running costs are reasonable: the property has a heat pump and air conditioner, double glazing, and an EPC rating of 57 (D). Communal gardens and a bin store are maintained, and the flat benefits from excellent mobile signal and convenient local amenities including supermarkets and nearby rail links to London.
Important considerations: the home is leasehold with about 89 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £1,032.84 plus a small ground rent. The surrounding area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may concern some buyers or affect rental demand.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment that suits a first-time buyer wanting close-city living or an investor seeking an accessible, low-maintenance buy-to-let. The property’s sensible layout and no-onward-chain status are strong positives, but purchasers should factor in lease length, service charges and local area conditions.
