The property forms part of an attractive brick-built development on Hollow Lane with a layout that provides a lovely separation between the bedrooms on the lower floor and the main living space above.
Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a practical entrance hallway with generous built-in storage, ideal for keeping coats, shoes and everyday essentials neatly tucked away. Also on this floor are two double bedrooms, with one of them benefitting from fitted wardrobes. Both rooms enjoy plenty of natural light. Completing the ground floor is a modern bathroom which has tiled walls and features a suite consisting of a bath with a shower over, wash basin and WC. There is also another storage cupboard in the hallway which houses the washing machine.
Stairs lead up to the first floor, where the living accommodation has a lovely sense of space and character. The generously proportioned lounge/diner is a particularly appealing room, with two windows allowing plenty of natural light to filter through and an attractive feature fireplace providing a charming focal point. There is ample room for comfortable seating alongside a dining table, making this a wonderful space for both relaxing and entertaining. The room also benefits from useful fitted shelving and storage and you have a lovely view out of the window across Canterbury's chimney tops with a glimpse of the cathedral in the distance.
The separate kitchen is spacious, fitted with a range of contemporary white units complemented by dark worktops, providing plenty of storage and preparation space. There is an integrated oven with hob as well as space for a fridge and freezer under the counter. One of the loveliest features of the apartment is the door leading directly from the kitchen onto a private balcony. Although modest in size, it offers a welcome little spot to sit outside with a morning coffee or enjoy some fresh air, with enough room for a small bistro table and chairs.
The property also benefits from an allocated parking space, a valuable convenience in such a central location.
An additional attraction is the property's favourable tenure arrangements. With a share of the freehold, 963 years remaining on the lease, low service charges and no ground rent payable, the ongoing costs of ownership are refreshingly manageable. Combined with its generous accommodation, private outside space and parking, this makes the apartment a particularly appealing choice for first-time buyers looking to get onto the property ladder, as well as investors seeking a conveniently located property.
Location:
Hollow Lane is situated in the popular and well-connected Wincheap area of Canterbury, offering a fantastic balance of everyday convenience and easy access to everything this historic city has to offer. Canterbury's vibrant city centre is within comfortable walking distance, with its wonderful mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, historic streets and cultural attractions.
Wincheap itself has plenty to offer, with a large supermarket close by, alongside an eclectic mix of independent businesses and local amenities. For those who enjoy keeping active, there is a rock-climbing gym nearby, whilst the much-loved Floc. Brewery & Taproom is just a short stroll away, providing a great spot to meet friends and enjoy locally brewed craft beer and pizza. The nearby riverside walks and Westgate Gardens also offer lovely green spaces to escape to, despite being so close to the city centre.
The location is particularly convenient for commuters, with both Canterbury East and Canterbury West railway stations within walking distance. Canterbury West provides the high-speed service to London St Pancras in under an hour, whilst Canterbury East also offers direct services towards London Victoria. For those travelling by car, Wincheap provides straightforward access onto the A2/M2 commuter route, connecting Canterbury with London, the coast and the wider motorway network.
Whether you're heading into town for a coffee, meeting friends for dinner, commuting to London or simply enjoying everything Canterbury has on its doorstep, this is a wonderfully convenient place to call home.
