A Rare Opportunity for Spacious Retirement Living in the Heart of Canterbury
Discover independent retirement living with space, comfort and convenience at its very best. For 70s and over.
A Home For 70 And Over
Discover independent retirement living with space, comfort and convenience at its very best.
Located within the highly regarded McCarthy Stone over-70s development in the heart of Canterbury, this exceptional second-floor retirement apartment offers a rare combination of generous proportions, abundant natural light, excellent communal facilities and the highly desirable benefit of a private allocated parking space.
A Home Designed Around You, Accessed conveniently via lift, the apartment immediately impresses with an unusually spacious entrance hallway, offering ample room for a study or home office area — a particularly versatile feature for those who value additional space.
At the heart of the home is the exceptionally generous open-plan lounge and dining room, which is both larger and more distinctive than many apartments within retirement developments. Its double-aspect windows draw in an abundance of natural light, creating a wonderfully bright, airy and welcoming space in which to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the view.
The contemporary fitted kitchen is thoughtfully positioned directly off the living area and features modern cabinetry together with integrated appliances, providing a practical and stylish setting for everyday cooking.
The well-proportioned double bedroom also benefits from double-aspect windows, continuing the apartment's impressive sense of light and space. A stylish wet room has been designed with both comfort and accessibility in mind, while a generous storage cupboard provides valuable additional practicality.
More Than Just an Apartment, Life here extends beyond your front door. Residents enjoy access to excellent communal facilities, including a fully equipped Wellness Lounge and an on-site Bistro serving freshly prepared hot meals daily.
These facilities provide opportunities to meet neighbours, socialise and enjoy a welcoming community, while your own private apartment provides the independence, privacy and freedom to live life on your own terms.
Canterbury on Your Doorstep, The development enjoys an enviable position within the historic city of Canterbury, with the High Street and a wealth of amenities within easy reach.
The city offers an excellent modern shopping centre, independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and public houses, while the characterful Kings Mile provides a particularly appealing mix of boutique shops, cafés and eateries. Canterbury is also home to the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University and a wide selection of schools across both the state and independent sectors.
For leisure and entertainment, there is plenty to discover. The Marlowe Theatre, the spectacular Beaney House of Art & Knowledge and the Gulbenkian at the University of Kent — offering theatre, cinema and café-bar facilities — provide an outstanding choice of cultural and entertainment experiences.
Sport and recreation are equally accessible, with golf at Scotland Hills, sailing available at Whitstable Yacht Club and Herne Bay, and county cricket in Canterbury. The Channel Tunnel also makes day trips to France remarkably convenient.
Excellent Connections, Despite its central setting, the property is ideally placed for travel further afield.
Canterbury has two mainline railway stations, with Canterbury West providing a high-speed service to London St Pancras in approximately 56 minutes. The A2 is also readily accessible, linking towards the Channel Port of Dover and Brenley Corner at Faversham, where it connects with the M2 and A299 Thanet Way.
Ashford International is approximately 15.4 miles away, offering high-speed services to London St Pancras in around 38 minutes.
With its rare private parking space, unusually spacious accommodation, double-aspect living and bedroom, excellent on-site facilities and superb central Canterbury location, this is a retirement apartment that offers considerably more th

About Thanet
Comprising the towns of Broadstairs, Margate, Ramsgate plus many pretty villages, Thanet enjoys an attractive combination of coast and countryside.
Villages within the Thanet district such as Birchington, Westgate, Cliffsend, Minster, Monkton and Manston all have unique individual qualities that make them highly sought-after seaside and semi-rural locations. If you like the outdoors, there's so much to explore from rolling hills and woodlands to towering cliffs, sandy beaches and wonderful coastal walks. It’s also an area that’s truly ‘on the up’.
One of the area’s main attractions is its location, with excellent road and rail links into London and the rest of Kent, and a gateway into Europe via the Port of Ramsgate. Being so close to France there is most definitely a continental vibe, especially at the beautiful harbour in Ramsgate. Margate is continuing to enjoy a resurgence and Broadstairs boasts some of the finest beaches in the South East of England, and has a picturesque harbour.
Most of us in branch live in Thanet and we love it. We are passionate about the towns and villages we live in and would welcome any opportunity to talk to buyers looking to move to our beautiful area.
