Summary - Flat 21, Barton Mill Court, Station Road West CT2 7JZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright first-floor flat with communal gardens and lift access.
Over-60s only retirement apartment with warden and Appello 24-hour assistance
This first-floor retirement apartment offers a convenient, no-onward-chain purchase close to Canterbury city centre. The property is part of a cared-for development with lift access, warden assistance and Appello 24-hour emergency call service, making it well suited to over-60s seeking independent living with extra support.
The light, airy lounge/diner is a generous social space and the one bedroom and bathroom provide practical, manageable accommodation (approximately 496 sq ft). Outside there are communal gardens, a residents’ lounge, laundry room and resident permit off-street parking — useful everyday benefits for downsizers.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with about 97 years remaining, a significant service charge (circa £3,800 pa) and a ground rent of £562 which is relatively high. Heating is via electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are slow; the living room shows dated 1980s styling and would benefit from modernisation. There is a medium flooding risk and local crime levels are recorded as high — important factors to check before committing.
Overall this is a compact, well-located retirement apartment that suits someone seeking central convenience, on-site support and communal facilities, but buyers should budget for service charges, potential updating and verify flood/crime implications and lease details with their solicitor.
