A Versatile Four Storey Grade 2 Listed Townhouse that dates back to the early 19th century in the Heart of Canterbury

With the city’s shops, cafés, theatres, and historic landmarks all just a short walk away, this property combines convenience with character across four well arranged floors, including a useful basement level.

The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hall
leading to a front reception room which can also serve

versatility for different living needs. Beyond this is a
second reception room, ideal as a dining or sitting
space, which flows through to the kitchen positioned
at the rear of the house. In addition, stairs lead down
