Set within a handsome Victorian terrace in Folkestone’s West End, this spacious lower-ground flat offers generous room proportions, high ceilings and character features that are rare at this price point. The apartment spans about 1,100 sq ft and includes two large bedrooms, a sizable living room with bay window light, and a fitted kitchen — a comfortable home for first-time buyers wanting space to grow.
Practical benefits include a long lease (approx. 142 years remaining) and a share of freehold, plus an outside storage cupboard and access to the nearby Augusta Gardens. The property is served by mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and benefits from fast broadband, walking-distance transport links and easy access to town-centre amenities and well-regarded local schools.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the flat occupies the lower-ground level, so natural light is reduced compared with upper floors, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated — improving thermal performance is likely required to reduce running costs. The area is classified as deprived with average crime levels; buyers should weigh local social factors alongside the property’s positives.
This apartment suits purchasers seeking a spacious, characterful home or an investment with potential to add value through targeted improvements (insulation, cosmetic updating). The long lease and share of freehold offer ownership security — bringing the flat up to modern energy standards would enhance comfort and future resale potential.
