Set within Folkestone’s favoured West End, this unusually large two-bedroom ground-floor apartment combines generous period proportions with practical outdoor space. High ceilings, large windows and an open flow from living room to dining/study areas create bright, adaptable living spaces for a family or home-worker. The timber garden cabin (4m x 3m) with air conditioning provides a ready-made office or studio.
Practical benefits include private front and rear gardens, block‑paved driveway with off‑street parking for two cars and a share of the freehold with an exceptionally long lease (938 years). Services are straightforward: low service charge (£900), nominal ground rent (£1) and no flooding risk. There’s scope to add an EV charging point to the driveway.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the large cellar is only accessed by a temporary ladder from the communal hallway and will need a proper safe entrance to be fully usable. The rear garden needs routine maintenance and some care to reach its full potential. The property sits in an area assessed as deprived and local crime is average; broadband speeds are only average despite excellent mobile signal.
This property will suit families seeking space and period character close to schools and local amenities, or purchasers looking for a roomy ground-floor home with flexible outbuilding space. It offers immediate liveability with clear potential for improvement where desired.
