This bright upper maisonette extends across the top two floors of an attractive Edwardian terrace and offers generous, flexible living across approximately 1,800 sq ft. Four well-proportioned bedrooms include a master with en-suite, plus a separate reception and dining room that could serve as a fifth bedroom or home office. The living room opens onto a balcony and the property includes a private roof terrace with decking and fitted seating, providing a private outdoor entertaining space with far-reaching views towards The Downs.
Practical ownership benefits include a long lease (circa 933 years), share of freehold, and no forward chain, making the legal side straightforward. The location is highly convenient: a few minutes’ walk to Folkestone Central station with fast services to London, and close to the town centre, harbour and Leas Promenade. Mobile signal and broadband are strong, and local schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options.
Buyers should note some important local and property considerations. The immediate area is classified as deprived with high local crime statistics and a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood — this can mean more noise and turnover than quieter suburban streets. The maisonette is multi-story, so access involves stairs and might not suit those needing step-free accommodation. Service charge is approximately £1,560 pa; ground rent is nominal (£1). Council tax is described as cheap.
This home suits a family or buyer seeking large, characterful accommodation with exceptional outdoor roof-space and excellent transport links. It will also appeal to purchasers who value period features and space but who are comfortable buying into a lively, urban area that may require some personalisation and ongoing attention to communal security and maintenance.
