Unique Victorian Workspace with Garden & Parking – Central Canterbury – £1,500 per month – Flexible Terms

A rare opportunity to occupy a distinctive, self-contained workspace within a characterful Victorian building, quietly positioned yet within easy reach of Canterbury city centre.

Marlowe Yard offers a unique working environment combining period features with a high-quality modern finish, including exposed brickwork, oak flooring and a private garden – making it particularly well suited to occupiers seeking a more individual, client-facing or creative space.

Marlowe Yard is a thoughtfully renovated Victorian property offering a unique blend of character and practicality. Unlike typical office stock, the building provides a more considered and individual working environment, with a layout and atmosphere that lends itself equally to focused work, client interaction, and creative use.

The inclusion of a private garden further enhances the space, offering a rare outdoor element that can be used for informal meetings, staff breakout or simply as a quiet retreat during the working day.

With the benefit of on-site parking and a secluded setting, the property combines accessibility with a degree of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find within central Canterbury.

The property is particularly well suited to:

• Creative, design or media businesses
• Boutique consultancies or client-facing firms
• Therapy, wellbeing, or studio-based uses (subject to any necessary consents)
• A private office / headquarters for an owner-occupier

• There are no ongoing management charges.
• There is no external managing agent service charge.
• The only recurring outgoings are rent, business rates, utilities, and insurance contribution (if applicable).

Business Rates: estimated at £731 per month for the whole building (subject to confirmation). Charities or qualifying small businesses may be eligible for relief.
