Summary - FLAT 34, PLEYDELL COURT, PLEYDELL GARDENS, FOLKESTONE CT20 2DB
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free third-floor flat close to the Leas and town centre — ideal for downsizers..
Third-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, 539 sq ft
This third-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment sits in the heart of Folkestone, a short walk from the Leas promenade, high street shops and transport links. The McCarthy & Stone development offers practical on-site support: a Lodge Manager, personal call points/pendants and a 24-hour emergency response system. The flat includes a sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with a small balcony, and a shower room — all arranged over 539 sq ft, suitable for single occupancy or a couple meeting the age criteria.
The building provides communal facilities that add convenience: residents' lounge, laundry room, guest suite, lift access and off-street parking. The flat is chain-free and priced at £70,000, reflecting both its central location and retirement-specific market. Council tax is low and the property was constructed in the early 1990s with double glazing already installed.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks honestly: the living room shows dated 1970s fittings and visible wear and tear and may need modernization; the property uses electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating; and the surrounding area records very high crime and high deprivation indices—factors to weigh for personal security and long-term desirability. The apartment is leasehold; purchasers must meet the age restrictions for the development.
