Long lease: 197 years remaining
Private rear courtyard/patio, own private entrance

This two-bedroom lower/upper-ground maisonette on Clarence Street combines period character with contemporary finishes and its own private entrance. The upper level provides a bright living room and stylish kitchen/diner, while the lower level houses two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom — a sensible layout for a couple, small family or buy-to-let investor.
Practical strengths include a long lease (197 years remaining), private rear courtyard/patio, double glazing, EPC rating C and mains gas central heating. The 728 sq ft footprint is modest but well arranged; recent neutral decoration and updated kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate maintenance outlay.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average local crime and a medium flood risk. The building is solid-brick (likely without cavity insulation) so consider potential insulation or retrofit costs. The maisonette layout includes internal stairs, which may affect accessibility.
Overall this is an affordable entry into Folkestone with strong local amenity and harbour access. It will suit a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-live-in home with private outdoor space, or an investor targeting steady rental demand — provided you factor in area considerations and any retrofit work for thermal efficiency.
