Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is located in St. James House on Castle Street in Canterbury’s historic city center. The property is situated within the Castle Quarter, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The apartment has been recently converted (circa 2017), resulting in a modern, high-quality finish. The photos reveal a contemporary interior with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The open-plan living space is well-lit, and the property appears clean and well-maintained. The location is a major advantage, being in the heart of Canterbury and close to the city’s key amenities and transportation hubs (Canterbury East and West train stations). Nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings, and the area is generally considered desirable and sought after. The major downside to the property is the lack of private outdoor space. It’s crucial to investigate the building’s service charges and any associated costs of living in the apartment complex. A prospective buyer should also weigh the premium price against the lack of external space typically desired in homes. The lack of plot size details is a limiting factor in the analysis; however, it is likely negligible for a city centre flat.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
