New Dover Road, Canterbury

A wonderful two-bedroom, two-bathroom split-level apartment in South Canterbury. The apartment is presented over two floors, with the kitchen and living space on the ground floor and the bedrooms and bathrooms on the lower ground floor. Kingsley Court is a grand building, originally built in the 1850`s as apartments for masters of the King`s School and renovated to modern requirements in the 1980`s. It consists of nine apartments and has a friendly and peaceful feel to it. Each apartment comes with a share in the freehold.

The apartment itself is bright and airy throughout and high ceilings give it a feeling of grandeur. The lounge/diner features oak flooring and a large sash window allowing plenty of natural light to flood in. There is a large display unit along one wall which will be staying for the new owner to enjoy.

A door from the living area opens into a wonderful galley kitchen, with high ceilings and two large sash windows. The current owner has upgraded the kitchen which now has a range of sleek and stylish units with an integrated Bosch oven and induction hob. There is space for a freestanding washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is also a cupboard housing the combi boiler, providing gas central heating.

On the lower ground floor, there are two generous double bedrooms, with the primary bedroom benefiting from a contemporary en-suite shower room which the current owner has recently upgraded. For those who prefer baths, fear not as the main bathroom has a bath with a shower over. There is a large storage cupboard in the main bathroom and another out in the hallway.
