This two-double-bedroom flat in Chaucer Court offers an accessible city-base near Canterbury’s universities and shops, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking rental potential. The layout is practical with a generous open-plan living/dining area, separate kitchen and communal gardens for outdoor space.
The property is offered as a share of freehold with approximately 102 years remaining on the lease and an annual service charge of about £2,906. Allocated off-street parking and visitor spaces add convenience; council tax band B keeps running costs relatively low.
The flat requires general modernisation throughout and currently uses electric storage heaters; the EPC is D (57). Broadband speeds are reported slow and local crime levels are high — both important factors for owner-occupiers and tenants. Buyers should factor renovation costs and potential heating upgrades into their budget.
Overall this is a medium-sized, city-centre flat with clear upside for someone willing to update finishes. It’s a practical purchase for a first-time buyer wanting a central location or an investor after a straightforward let in a student-and-professional area.
