Bright and well‑located, this two‑bedroom upper ground floor flat sits within a handsome Victorian building on Sandgate Road, a short walk from Folkestone Central station and the town centre. The apartment benefits from large bay windows and high ceilings in parts, creating an airy atmosphere across the living room and principal bedroom. With two bathrooms (including an en‑suite) and a practical kitchen/diner, it works well for commuters, first‑time buyers or those wanting a low‑maintenance town pied‑à‑terre.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is chain‑free, ready to move into and extends to about 686 sq ft. There is access to communal gardens and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The building is traditional solid brick and dates from before 1900, which gives character but means walls likely lack modern cavity insulation.
Important facts to note: the flat is leasehold with approximately 91 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,270 and a ground rent of £250. The area is mixed and busy—close to transport and local amenities but in a neighbourhood described as relatively deprived and popular with students and migrant families.
Overall this is a convenient, characterful flat for buyers who prioritise location, natural light and immediate availability. Buyers should factor in ongoing leasehold costs and the potential need for energy‑efficiency improvements typical of older solid‑wall properties.
