St Edmunds Road, Canterbury, Kent

Waterside Cottage is a beautifully presented two-bedroom riverside home, occupying an exceptional position within Canterbury’s historic city walls. Combining a wonderfully peaceful setting with immediate access to the heart of the city, the property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy genuine waterside living within easy reach of Canterbury’s shops, restaurants, cafés, cultural attractions and transport links.

The accommodation is well arranged and includes two generously proportioned double bedrooms, one of which opens directly onto the raised rear terrace. The bathroom has a clean, contemporary finish, with white metro-style tiling, a panelled bath with shower over and glass screen, WC and modern fittings. A fitted cupboard provides discreet and practical laundry space, housing a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.

The riverside setting is undoubtedly one of the property’s most distinctive features. To the rear, the raised terrace enjoys views over the water and surrounding mature greenery, creating an inviting space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing beside the river. Steps lead down to a private lower courtyard at the water’s edge, where a fixed metal ladder provides direct access to the river.

Despite its tranquil atmosphere, Waterside Cottage is only moments from Canterbury city centre, with its excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, historic landmarks and cultural attractions close at hand. Canterbury East and Canterbury West railway stations are also conveniently accessible, making the property well placed for commuters.

A characterful and highly individual home, Waterside Cottage offers an unusual combination of private river frontage, attractive outdoor space and city-centre convenience in one of Canterbury’s most appealing settings.
