This upper-ground two-bedroom apartment blends Victorian character with contemporary fittings, arranged around a private entrance and porch. High decorative ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling bay window and a west-facing open-plan kitchen/living room give bright, airy rooms and pleasant views over Augusta Gardens. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room; a second double bedroom and a family bathroom with a utility area add practical space for everyday living.
Presented to a good decorative standard, the flat benefits from a long lease (149 years remaining), nominal ground rent (£1) and an affordable annual service charge (circa £1,200). The property suits a first-time buyer seeking period features with modern convenience, or a buy-to-let investor wanting central Folkestone proximity to transport, shops and the seafront.
Notable facts to consider: the building is a Victorian solid-brick conversion (pre-1900) and walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs and potential improvement works to raise energy efficiency (current EPC rating D). The immediate area is busy and classed as a cosmopolitan, student-influenced neighbourhood with higher local deprivation indicators; this brings amenities and transport links but may also mean more daytime and evening activity.
Practicalities are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators provide heating, broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, there is no flood risk, and council tax is described as cheap. Internal inspection will best convey room proportions and the quality of the finish, especially for buyers weighing retrofit or insulation improvements to improve comfort and running costs.
