Canterbury city inside the walls, the CT2 north-western suburbs including St Dunstan's, Hales Place and Blean, plus the CT4 Downland villages of Chartham, Bridge and Bekesbourne. Four broadly different property types in one postcode area, all worked to the same standard.
Canterbury holds around 1,800 listed buildings and 12 conservation areas administered by Canterbury City Council. Inside the walls the stock is medieval, Tudor and Georgian on the King's Mile, Palace Street, Northgate and around the Cathedral precincts. Outside the walls the pattern shifts fast - Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Wincheap and St Dunstan's, mid-C20th semis in Hales Place and Thanington, larger period stock in Bridge and Chartham. The workload changes shape with the streets.

More on CharthamThe Nailbourne-valley village straddling the old Roman road south-east of the city. Sought-after period cottages, quite a bit of listed stock, and the surface-mount cable routing that goes with careful work on protected ...
More on BridgeCT1 covers the walled city, Wincheap and Thanington. CT2 covers St Dunstan's, Hales Place, Rough Common and Blean. CT3 covers Sturry, Fordwich and the Ash road villages. CT4 covers Chartham, Bridge, Bekesbourne, Petham and the southern Downland. I keep the round tight to this postcode set so the schedule holds and Listed Building Consent paperwork (Canterbury City Council for CT1 and much of CT2) is one consistent process rather than four different councils.
