A spacious two-bedroom ground floor apartment situated in the popular Hales Place area of Canterbury, within easy reach of the city centre and the University of Kent. The property offers comfortable and practical accommodation, with two good-sized double bedrooms, a particularly spacious separate kitchen and a bright lounge/diner opening onto a private balcony. With useful additional storage and reasonable running costs, this is an appealing opportunity for first-time buyers looking to get onto the property ladder, as well as investors seeking a rental property in a convenient and well-connected location. The property is offered for sale with no forward chain.
Steps lead up to the main entrance of the building, although the apartment also benefits from an alternative entrance to the rear, providing convenient stair-free access.
The front door of the apartment opens into a central hallway, which benefits from a large built-in storage cupboard at the end, ideal for keeping everyday household items neatly tucked away. The lounge/dining room is a lovely bright space, with generous glazing allowing plenty of natural light to flood in. There is ample room to accommodate both comfortable seating and a dining table, making it a pleasant space for relaxing or entertaining. A glazed door opens directly onto a covered balcony, providing a welcome bit of private outside space, with room for a small bistro table and chairs where you can sit and enjoy a morning coffee whilst looking out towards the established trees and surrounding green space.
The kitchen is particularly generous in size for an apartment, with plenty of worktop and cupboard space, as well as room for freestanding appliances. There is also space for a small breakfast table if desired.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes, helping to maximise the available floor space. The accommodation is completed by a shower room, fitted with a white suite comprising a corner shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.
Another useful feature is the apartment's own external storage cupboard, which provides a generous amount of additional space for storing bicycles and other belongings, particularly valuable for apartment living.
The property is leasehold, with Canterbury City Council as the freeholder. A peppercorn ground rent is payable, and the service charges are understood to be reasonable, helping to make this a practical and affordable option for those looking to keep their ongoing outgoings manageable.
Location:
Hales Place is a well-established residential area on the northern side of Canterbury, particularly popular for its convenient access to the University of Kent, which is within walking distance. This makes the location attractive to both students and university staff, as well as professionals and first-time buyers looking for an affordable home close to the city. There is a local convenience shop a short walk away, and the area is served by regular buses into Canterbury city centre.
Canterbury itself is a vibrant and historic cathedral city, offering an excellent range of independent shops, high-street retailers, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions, including the Marlowe Theatre and Curzon cinema. The city is also well connected, with two railway stations providing services to London and the coast. Canterbury West offers a high-speed rail service to London St Pancras in under an hour, whilst the nearby A2 provides convenient road links towards London, Dover and the wider Kent coast.
