Canterbury - Local Amenities

World Heritage Site, with Roman walls and medieval streets, the original charm and character of Canterbury city centre has been well preserved and sensitively integrated with modern developments. These include the new £140 million Whitefriars shopping centre with its flagship Fenwicks department store and branches of Marks & Spencer and Next, to name but a few.

Living links with Canterbury’s past include the Marlowe Theatre – named after Christopher Marlowe, the playwright, who was born here – which stages West End plays, musicals and touring opera; and the Canterbury Festival, which is held annually. Additional leisure facilities include two Multiplex cinemas; the Kingsmead Leisure Centre with its swimming pool, fitness and dance studios; the County Cricket Club and Canterbury Golf Club.

Educationally Canterbury is exceptionally well provided for, being home to the University of Kent, Christchurch University College and the Kent Institute of Art and Design. In addition to giving Canterbury a vibrant heart, this means that rented accommodation is much in demand, and properties such as this could be an ideal investment opportunity.
