This compact first-floor flat in central Folkestone offers a straightforward, low-cost entry into the property market. The open-plan living/kitchen, one double bedroom and bathroom are arranged efficiently across c.399 sq ft, making the apartment easy to heat and maintain. A lift serves all floors and the flat is sold chain-free, ready for a quick move or letting.
Practical benefits include a long lease (125 years from 2007), an EPC rating of C and a modest ground rent (£150). Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for remote working or short-term lets. The property is well placed for the town centre, harbour arm and local amenities, with several good primary and secondary schools nearby.
Buyers should note the flat’s small overall size and limited storage; the accommodation suits an individual, couple, or investor rather than a family needing more space. The wider area shows significant deprivation and reported high crime levels, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental demand. Heating is electric (boiler and radiators), so check running costs against personal needs.
Overall this is a practical, low-entry purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking central location and minimal immediate upkeep. Its compact footprint and local socio-economic factors are important considerations when weighing future plans for resale or renting.
