This freehold two-bedroom maisonette on The Parade delivers rare, direct views over Folkestone Harbour and the English Channel. The principal living room opens onto a full-width balcony, providing a private spot for sea air and coastal sunsets. The layout is split over two floors with a large main bedroom, a second bedroom, fitted kitchen and shower room. At around 860 sq ft the accommodation is compact but efficiently arranged for comfortable city-coast living.
The property is offered chain free and would suit a first-time buyer wanting a character coastal home or an investor targeting a sea-view let. Practical advantages include Council Tax band B, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or holiday-let bookings. The front garden is low-maintenance and the balcony gives outdoor space without heavy upkeep.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area is classed as very deprived. Internally the flat shows period charm but will benefit from light modernisation to reach its full value; some rooms and fixtures appear dated. Prospective purchasers should factor these issues into budgeting and insurance considerations.
Overall, this is a characterful coastal property with strong location benefits — sea views, easy access to town and Folkestone Central Station — balanced by local social challenges and a need for updating. For the right buyer it represents an affordable route to seaside ownership or a lettable sea-view asset.
