Set within Folkestone’s desirable West End, this chain-free two-bedroom flat occupies generous space (approx. 945 sq ft) in a detached Victorian building. Light-filled rooms and period high ceilings give the apartment character, while a private garden adds rare outdoor space for a flat. The property is offered with a Share of Freehold and a 105-year lease.
Commuters will appreciate the quick high-speed link to London St Pancras (around 50 minutes) and strong local bus connections. The Leas and Coastal Path are a short walk away, making this a good choice for walkers and seaside lovers. Local schools include highly regarded options such as The Harvey Grammar School and The Folkestone School for Girls.
Practical points to note: the service charge averages £3,200 per year and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect heating costs despite the mains gas boiler and radiators. The area scores as deprived overall and crime is average—important factors for buyers to consider alongside the property’s advantages.
This flat suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a spacious, characterful residence near the coast with excellent rail links. It offers clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance, while the share of freehold reduces long-term leasehold uncertainty.
