The Rope Walk, Canterbury, CT1

This second floor riverside apartment is just a short stroll from the heart of Canterbury’s vibrant city centre, but couldn’t feel further from the hustle and bustle. Situated in the Rope Walk, which easily accessible by car and affords a pleasant walk to the High Street alongside the River, this stylish development has distinctive cedar-style cladding and glass fronted balconies. Looking out across the verdant banks of the Stour, draped with weeping willows and towards the ancient St Mildred’s Church, it’s a tranquil and attractive setting that is best viewed from the full-width balcony. With two sets of bi-fold doors, the balcony is almost entirely open to the spacious living area which also accommodates a dining table and contemporary, high specification kitchen. A study area is tucked away around the corner which provides space for a computer and filing that’s not immediately on-show. There’s no shortage of windows here, and with a southerly aspect, it’s an uplifting and bright interior that feels quite unlike many apartments. A laundry cupboard lies off the hallway which is ideal for hiding away the washing machine and dryer, whilst a second storage cupboard is great for all those other ‘bits and pieces’ that need a home and would otherwise make a minimalistic apartment look cluttered. There are two double bedrooms, the master of which includes a large fitted wardrobe, Juliette balcony and en-suite shower room. A second bathroom serves the guest bedroom. The property includes secure underground parking for one vehicle and lift access. The City of Canterbury itself offers a wide range of shopping facilities, restaurants and entertainment including the popular Marlowe Theatre. Two mainline stations serve the area with links to London, Ashford and the coastal ports of Dover and Folkestone as well as high-speed rail connections to St Pancras in under one hour.
