About this home

GUIDE PRICE £375,000 - £400,000

A rare and stylish freehold two bedroom city centre house, offering contemporary living in a peaceful and secure setting just moments from Canterbury High Street and the River Stour.

This unique and characterful home delivers modern city living at its finest, perfectly positioned in the very heart of historic Canterbury. Set back from the main High Street and accessed via iron gates from the road, the property enjoys a reassuring sense of privacy and security while remaining only a stone’s throw from an exceptional array of shops, bars, restaurants and iconic tourist attractions.

The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged to suit both everyday living and entertaining. An open plan kitchen and dining area forms the social heart of the home, flowing effortlessly into a bright and inviting lounge area. To the rear, a separate reception room provides excellent flexibility and would work perfectly as a home office, cosy reading snug or occasional guest room.

Upstairs, the generous main bedroom is a standout feature, enhanced by high vaulted ceilings that create an impressive sense of space and light. Built in cupboard storage adds convenience while maintaining the home’s clean, contemporary aesthetic. The second bedroom is well proportioned and beautifully presented, ideal for guests, sharers or additional workspace.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a private external area offering enough space for a table and chairs—perfect for enjoying a drink in the sunshine or tending to plant pots. A separate storage shed provides practical space for tools, bikes or outdoor equipment, a rare and valuable addition for city centre living.

The house is presented in excellent condition throughout and is truly ready to be enjoyed. Quirky, secure and full of personality, it also benefits from eligibility for a highly sought after Canterbury city centre parking permit, available to only a limited number of residents, further enhancing its appeal.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a high specification freehold home in one of Canterbury’s most desirable and convenient locations. Early viewing is highly recommended.
