Summary - 17 FLAT 2 WESTBOURNE GARDENS FOLKESTONE CT20 2HZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Top-floor Victorian apartment, chain free and share of freehold.
Top-floor one-bedroom with garden views
A compact one-bedroom top-floor apartment set in an attractive Victorian building on Folkestone’s West End. Bright rooms and high ceilings give a sense of space, and the living room enjoys a pleasant outlook over Westbourne Gardens. The property is offered with a share of the freehold and is chain free, making it straightforward for a first purchase or buy-to-let.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband availability, and a very low council tax band. The flat totals about 533 sq ft and sits within easy reach of local amenities, transport links and several well-regarded schools, making it suitable for single buyers or investors seeking a central West End location.
Buyers should note several important facts: the lease has approximately 87 years remaining, which may affect some mortgage options and resale value; the EPC is graded D; and the building’s original timber-frame construction is assumed to lack insulation. Service charges run at about £1,500 per year. These are material points for budgeting and future works (insulation, potential refurbishment) and should be checked with solicitors and mortgage providers.
Overall, this apartment offers an affordable entry into a period property in a convenient location, with immediate availability and straightforward ownership via a share of freehold. It will particularly suit a buyer prepared to accept some updating and to manage lease considerations for long-term value.
