Love Lane, Canterbury, Kent, CT1

A Versatile Four Storey Grade 2 Listed Townhouse that dates back to the early 19th century in the Heart of Canterbury

Situated on highly sought after Love Lane, this well presented four bedroom townhouse offers an exceptional opportunity for both families and investors seeking a spacious, flexible home right in the centre of Canterbury. With the city’s shops, cafés, theatres, and historic landmarks all just a short walk away, this property combines convenience with character across four well arranged floors, including a useful basement level.

The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hall
leading to a front reception room which can also serve
as an additional bedroom if desired, offering excellent
versatility for different living needs. Beyond this is a
second reception room, ideal as a dining or sitting
space, which flows through to the kitchen positioned
at the rear of the house. In addition, stairs lead down
to the basement, a surprising area that could function as a home office, study, games room or further reception space, after the necessary adaptions have been completed.

The top floor offers two further double bedrooms, with the rear enjoying views over the city skyline to Canterbury Cathedral. These rooms provide a sense of privacy away from the main living areas. The layout allows for a wide range of uses, making the home suitable for families, sharers, or as a rental property with strong potential given its central location.

Outside, the property benefits from a sun trap courtyard garden, a low maintenance space that is perfect for outdoor dining, morning coffee or simply a quiet spot to relax away from the buzz of the city. The outside also benefits from an outbuilding which has a second toilet with wash hand basin.
