Summary - 14 LONDON STREET FOLKESTONE CT20 1RA
5 bed 2 bath House
Character-filled home near the harbour with south garden and rooftop sea views.
Five bedrooms over four floors with bathrooms on three levels
This five-bedroom mid-terraced townhouse sits a short walk from Folkestone Harbour and the Old High Street, offering period character with practical family space across four floors. Ornate mouldings, high ceilings and sash-style windows give original charm, while an open-plan kitchen/diner and built-in storage provide modern convenience. Several bedrooms enjoy sea views and the south-facing rear outdoor space catches good sunlight.
The layout is vertically spacious but compact: accommodation is arranged over lower-ground, ground, first and second floors with bathrooms on three levels, useful for families or multi-occupant households. A substantial workshop in the garden has power and light — excellent for hobbyists, home business use or potential conversion (subject to permissions). The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing.
Buyers should note material drawbacks candidly. The plot and garden are small and the house requires maintenance; there are reported potential damp issues and the solid-brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. The property sits in an area with high crime and high deprivation metrics, which may affect resale or lettability for some buyers. Street parking only and vertical circulation across four floors may not suit those needing single-level living.
This home suits a buyer seeking character and location — a family wanting flexible bedrooms close to coastal amenities, or an investor targeting multi-occupancy/rental potential after refurbishment. If you value period detail, proximity to the harbour and a usable workshop, and are prepared for remedial works and modernisation, this townhouse offers strong potential in Folkestone's improving market.
