Cosy King apartment + Free parking

Relax in my minimalist and modernised Victorian apartment in central Canterbury completely privately all for yourself. The area is away from the city noise but at the same time only a 10min walk to the city centre for the Cathedral and the highstreet. The perfect balance. It is only a 3min walk from the Canterbury city Roman walls, the castle, Canterbury EAST St., an ALDI supermarket and the best fish and chips in the city 'Papas'. You can park your car too with a dedicated parking space.
