Set high on Folkestone’s East Cliff, this substantial four-bedroom detached home delivers sweeping panoramic sea views across the English Channel and direct access to cliff-top walks and the sandy beach. Generous, light-filled rooms extend to a conservatory that frames the coastline; the house totals around 2,000 sq ft, offering versatile living and entertaining space for family life.
The plot is a genuine asset: a large, landscaped rear garden with side access and a summer house, plus a wide driveway and garage providing multiple-vehicle parking. The property’s layout includes three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with utility, cloakroom/WC and two bathrooms — useful flexibility for families or guests.
Built in the 1950s and with double glazing fitted before 2002, the house is solid and characterful but will reward updating in places. The EPC rating of D and older glazing mean energy performance could be improved. Council tax is high; prospective buyers should factor running costs and potential modernisation (especially windows, heating efficiency and cosmetic updates) into their budget.
This location will suit families and those seeking a spacious coastal home within walking distance of Harbour cafés, eateries and good local schools. For buyers who value sea views and generous outdoor space, the property offers immediate enjoyment and clear scope to add value through targeted refurbishment.
