A beautiful rare find of superb quality within the City Walls is this delightful period property which commands an imposing position in one of the popular side streets near to Canterbury City Centre.

The Old Rectory is in keeping with the period with arched sash windows to the front, allowing the light to flood through. All the rooms have generous proportions.

The bespoke feature Kitchen and stylish boutique Bathroom provide a nod to the contemporary, but the age and period character of the property are sympathetically in keeping with its era.
