2 bed flat for sale

Waters Edge, Canterbury CT1

Downsizers or investment buyers

This 2-bedroomed flat is tucked away in the quietest and most secluded part of Canterbury, yet everything you need is within walking distance.
A short walk along the river will take you past the new Curzon cinema and restaurants on the new Canterbury Riverside complex. Further on is the centre of Canterbury, and Canterbury West Station with its fast trains to London. Access to Canterbury Cathedral is free for residents.

As Waters Edge is built on the grounds of a converted mill, it is bounded on three sides by the river Stour, and includes a peaceful mature wood which slopes down to the river. Paved riverside paths take you within minutes to Asda in one direction and Sainsbury’s in the other, with kingfishers, Cettii’s warblers and many resident ducks. Trees are protected from the occasional beaver! Beyond the wood is a huge nature reserve, closed to the public.

This second-floor flat has good security with closed circuit TV in the grounds. A generous entrance hallway leads to an unusually large sitting room with a well-equipped open-plan kitchen. The sitting and dining area is designed for comfort and socialising, with windows on three sides. In the middle, a Juliette balcony with views of sheep on the distant hills. To the right a window with glimpses of the river Stour through the trees, and to the left a large balcony suitable for al fresco dining. Wood floors and modern radiators have been installed throughout the flat to ensure it is warm and cosy in the winter.

The master bedroom is a true retreat, complete with an ensuite shower room and ample fitted wardrobes, providing both convenience and storage. A further double bedroom, also with wardrobes, ensures that guests or family members have their own comfortable space. The family bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a shower over the bath for added versatility.
The flat has its own private lock-up garage as well as an allocated parking space. There is also secure bicycle storage. The Estate is well run to ensure service charges are tightly controlled, and the garden is beautiful thanks to many years of commitment by the gardener.
