Set on the second floor of an attractive period red-brick building, this generous two-bedroom apartment combines high ceilings and large rooms with contemporary comforts. The bright living room looks over well-kept communal gardens while a modern fitted kitchen and two contemporary bathrooms make the home ready to move into. The property extends to about 1,051 sq ft, so it feels more like a house-sized flat than a typical apartment.
Practical advantages include a share of freehold, chain-free sale and off-street residents’ parking (first-come, plus low-cost permit parking nearby). The location is a major selling point: a short walk to Folkestone Central station, the Creative Quarter and the seafront, with regular high-speed services to London. Communal grounds and a storage room add everyday convenience.
Buyers should note a few material points: the lease has around 83 years remaining and there is an average annual service charge of about £1,140. The building’s solid-brick construction means external wall insulation is likely limited without retrofit work, which could affect energy efficiency. The immediate area scores as relatively deprived overall, though local schooling and transport links are strong.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking characterful, spacious accommodation with low immediate maintenance and good transport links — ideal as a main home, coastal retreat or rental investment. It offers scope for modest energy upgrades and further cosmetic updating to tailor the space to your needs.
