This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Canterbury with immediate possession possible. The living room is generous for the size and the double bedroom receives good natural light — practical for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. A communal garden, external storage shed and plentiful on-street parking add useful outdoor space and storage.
The flat is in usable condition but does need renovation to maximise its value and comfort. The kitchen and bathroom are modern in style but the property is compact (approx. 367 sq ft) and will benefit from updating and redecoration. The EPC rating of 67 (D) is middling; upgrading heating or insulation could reduce running costs and improve energy performance.
Practicalities are straightforward: leasehold with approximately 99 years remaining, low ground rent (£50 p.a.) and a below-average service charge of £788 per annum. Council tax band A keeps ongoing costs low. Note the local area has high crime statistics and some deprivation — buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors alongside the low asking price.
This flat suits a buyer looking for an affordable starter home or a compact rental unit in Canterbury. With some cosmetic and possibly energy-efficiency work, it offers clear scope to increase comfort and value in a well-served part of the city.
