Taylor Wimpey Homes

A stunning selection of stylish apartments in Canterbury, near the city’s vibrant and historic centre, is on sale now at Taylor Wimpey’s popular Millers Court development.

These fabulous two-bedroom properties in Canterbury enjoy a prime location within easy walking distance of the diverse and culturally unique shopping district, where independent shops, bars, restaurants and chain stores meet world-renowned heritage sites.

And with great-value prices from just £159,750 – or as little as £127,800 for qualifying first-time buyers under the FirstBuy scheme – and furniture packages with selected plots, purchasing a contemporary property in Canterbury could cost less than many home-seekers might think.

Jason Stokes, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “From the attractive Huguenots weavers’ houses to the city walls and the awe-inspiring cathedral, Canterbury is famed for its past – but it is also a very modern location which caters to 21st century tastes.

“Our Millers Court development features a selection of flats for sale in Canterbury, giving homebuyers the chance to enjoy life in a high-quality, great-value apartment which benefits from appealing architecture and spacious layouts, while offering them the opportunity to fully experience this charming city.”

The beautiful two-bedroom Plot 5 ‘Bay Court’ apartment, priced at just £159,750, is an exceptional example of these high-quality homes and features a light and airy living/dining room with Juliet balcony and fitted kitchen, plus a master bedroom, a further well-proportioned bedroom and a main bathroom off the entrance hallway. Outside, the property benefits from allocated parking.

Under the FirstBuy scheme, qualifying first-time buyers can secure this apartment for 80% of its full price – that’s just £127,800, including a 5% deposit of only £7,988!

FirstBuy works thanks to a joint 20% loan from Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. FirstBuy customers should have a household income below £60,000, and full details are available from the Sales Executive.

Alternatively, three-bedroom homes are on sale from just £219,995 at the development, while four-bedroom houses are priced from £259,995.

Millers Court is located close to the heart of the vibrant and picturesque city of Canterbury, which boasts more than 320 shops as well as a wealth of bars and restaurants, cinemas and theatres. The development is also within easy reach of an abundance of schools for all ages.

Commuters will appreciate that Canterbury is close to major road links and within easy reach of the City. The development lies just nine miles from the M2, about 16 miles from the M20 and under a mile from Canterbury East station, while Ashford International station is only 17 miles away, with journey times to London St Pancras just 38 minutes.

Canterbury is steeped in history with the city’s skyline dominated by the stunning cathedral, the oldest in England. The ancient ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey and St Martin’s Church form Canterbury’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Much of the surrounding countryside is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The beautiful north Kent coast is only a short drive away, with the artistic town of Whitstable – famed for its oysters – and the traditional seaside magic of Herne Bay both popular destinations for days out.

To find out more about the stunning apartments on sale now at Millers Court, property-seekers can visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located in George Roche Road, off Nunnery Fields, Canterbury, and open daily from 10am to 5pm. Alternatively, log on to taylorwimpey.co.uk.
