2 bed flat for sale

Hollow Lane, Canterbury CT1

Situated in the popular Wincheap area of Canterbury, this delightful two-bedroom duplex apartment offers spacious and well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors, with the added benefit of a private balcony and allocated parking. With a share of the freehold, a particularly long lease of 963 years, low service charges and no ground rent payable, the property represents an attractive opportunity for first-time buyers, investors or anyone looking for a comfortable, low-maintenance home within easy reach of the city centre. The apartment is also being offered for sale with no forward chain.

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.
