An elegant two-bedroom first-floor apartment occupying part of an impressive mid-18th century townhouse in the heart of the historic and vibrant St Dunstan's district, just a few minutes' walk from the West Station and the city centre.

With the West Station offering the high-speed service to London St Pancras in under an hour, the apartment is ideally positioned for commuters and those who enjoy regular trips to the capital. Sold with a share of the freehold, the property also benefits from an allocated parking space - a rare and highly sought-after feature in this central location.

The apartment itself is full of character, with high ceilings and large sash windows that flood the accommodation with natural light, creating a wonderfully bright and welcoming home. The spacious lounge/dining room enjoys impressive views of St Dunstan's Church and along the main street towards the iconic Westgate Towers. Semi-open to the kitchen, the layout creates a sociable setting, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units providing ample storage, together with integrated appliances including an oven with electric hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.

There are two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom also enjoys the luxury of a walk-in wardrobe. Both rooms are bright, airy and neutrally decorated, with the high ceilings and large windows enhancing the feeling of space.

The spacious bathroom is beautifully appointed with a contemporary four-piece suite comprising a bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin, all complemented by stylish tiling. A large storage cupboard off the hallway houses the washing machine, while a secure entry-phone system provides added convenience and peace of mind.

Outside, the apartment benefits from an allocated parking space within the private residents' car park, located just across the road. The property is also offered with no forward chain.

- The service charge varies and is based on the previous years' actual expenditure. The seller believes it will be approximately £260 per month going forward.

Location:

The apartment is situated in the heart of St. Dunstan's, a desirable neighbourhood with a lively atmosphere, brimming with restaurants, quaint pubs and coffee shops. The West Station is an 8-minute walk away and from here, you will be able to hop on the high speed which gets you into London St. Pancras within the hour. The famous Goods Shed is just next to the station, where you can browse fresh, local produce including delectable cheeses, meats and wines and grab a bite to eat at one of their eateries.

Home to the stunning Westgate Gardens, St. Dunstan's also has a quieter and peaceful side, and you could spend hours' getting lost in a good book on one of its many benches, feeding the ducks on the River Stour and watching the river punts slowly drift by.

The city centre is just a short walk away, providing an eclectic mix of independent boutiques, well-known high street retailers, cafés, restaurants and bars. For lovers of the arts, Canterbury boasts an excellent cultural scene centred around the acclaimed Marlowe Theatre, together with a number of galleries showcasing both local and national artists.

There are several gyms and leisure facilities nearby, excellent road links via the A2/M2 for commuters, and the charming seaside town of Whitstable is just a short drive away. Alternatively, regular bus services, with a stop conveniently located just outside the apartment, provide direct access to the coast.
