This one-bedroom ground-floor flat offers roomy living spaces and sensible running costs close to Folkestone seafront. A separate lounge and a generous kitchen give more space than typical one-bed flats, useful for first-time buyers seeking comfortable everyday living or investors after a lettable layout. The EPC C and fast broadband are practical benefits for energy bills and connectivity.
Practical matters are straightforward: the lease has 93 years remaining, service charge is modest (around £600), and ground rent is low at £200 per year. The property is a ten-minute walk from the high-speed rail link to London St Pancras and within easy reach of local shops, cafés and the Harbour area, making it well placed for commuting and seaside leisure.
There are some points to note honestly. The building exterior needs cleaning and there are signs of possible damp near the kitchen and external walls; the kitchen shows dated finishes and minor wall damage. The area has higher-than-average crime and notable deprivation indicators, which may affect resale or rental demand and personal preference.
Overall this flat suits buyers prioritising space, low ongoing charges and transport links, and who are comfortable addressing modest maintenance or cosmetic updating. For a first-time buyer or investor wanting an affordable entry into Folkestone’s coastal market, this provides a practical, well-connected base with clear scope for improvement.
