Central Folkestone flat with strong commuter links, ideal for refurbishment or rental.
Chain-free top-floor apartment with 139 years remaining lease
A chain-free, top-floor apartment in central Folkestone offering straightforward refurbishment potential and long lease security. The property comprises lounge, two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom across an average-sized 664 sq ft layout, with an EPC rating of C and 139 years remaining on the lease.
The location is the strongest selling point: a short walk to Folkestone Central station, the Creative Quarter and the Harbour Arm, with a wide range of shops, cafés and services on the doorstep. That transport and rental demand make the flat attractive to buy-to-let investors or buyers seeking a town-centre base with commuter links.
The flat requires modernisation throughout and shows signs of damp and mould in places, so budget for repair and refurbishment works. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and the local area records very high crime and significant deprivation, factors to weigh for rental profiling and insurance costs.
Costs are clear: a service charge of £2,000 per year and a nominal £1 ground rent; council tax is low (Band A). The combination of central location, long lease and chain-free sale gives a practical canvas for refurbishment or an investor-led conversion programme.
