Summary - Flat C, 31, Kingsnorth Gardens CT20 2QP
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Moments from Folkestone Central with long lease and generous living space.
Large 1,089 sq ft two-bedroom maisonette
Light-filled two-bedroom maisonette arranged over multiple levels, recently renovated and offering generous living space (about 1,089 sq ft). High ceilings and a large bay window give the main reception room strong period character, while an open-plan kitchen/diner creates a contemporary hub for everyday life and entertaining. The internal staircase with stained glass features adds original detail.
Practical ownership is a key strength: a very long lease (circa 900 years) and a one-third share of the freehold reduce long-term tenure risk. The location is aimed at commuters — Folkestone Central station and the town centre are only minutes on foot, with fast rail links to London.
Buyers should note the material considerations plainly. The building’s construction is timber frame with no known wall insulation (assumed), so thermal upgrades could be worthwhile. The neighbourhood records higher crime and the wider area is relatively deprived, which may affect resale perceptions. There is one shower room plus a separate WC, and the property is sold newly renovated but may still require ongoing maintenance typical of older Victorian buildings.
Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer or commuter seeking a well-presented, move-in-ready home with long-term tenure security and development potential, willing to accept area-related drawbacks and consider insulation improvements to enhance comfort and efficiency.
