Canterbury Retail for Sale

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold property in the very heart of Canterbury’s historic city centre, comprising a large top-floor maisonette arranged over three floors together with a commercial unit on the ground floor. The residential accommodation offers five generously sized bedrooms, with the added benefit of a bathroom on each floor for maximum convenience. In addition, there is a separate self-contained unit with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom facilities, providing flexibility for long-term rentals or short-term lets. The ground floor is occupied by a popular Sports Bar and Restaurant know as Wing Kingz, currently let on a secure 10-year lease producing an annual rental income of £55,000 per annum. The maisonette has the potential to achieve approximately £3,000 per calendar month, while the self-contained accommodation is currently producing around £4,300 per calendar month. Together, the combined income across the property represents an exceptional return of approximately £130,000 per annum, making this an outstanding investment opportunity. There is also scope and preparation already in place for a lift to be installed from the ground floor up to the maisonette, providing modern access. This means the current door to the maisonette could be repurposed as a dedicated fire exit. With its central position, versatile layout, and proven rental demand, the property also has excellent potential as a holiday let, appealing to Canterbury’s year-round tourist market.
