Summary - THE GRAND KENT SUITE THE LEAS FOLKESTONE CT20 2LR
4 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious Victorian four-bedroom flat near The Leas promenade and coastal walks.
- Prominent Grade II clifftop building with sea views
Set on the clifftop Leas promenade, this four-bedroom maisonette occupies a prestigious Grade II Victorian building with direct coastal outlooks and generous room proportions. The apartment offers a spacious reception room, kitchen/diner, two bathrooms including a roll-top bath, and communal grounds — a rare combination of character, size and location for a seafront flat.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (999 years), nominal ground rent (£1) and chain-free sale. The building’s grand communal entrance and elevated position provide immediate appeal for owner-occupiers wanting seaside living or for buyers seeking a long-lease investment in a landmark property.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is listed (Grade II), which will restrict changes and could complicate repairs or modernisation. The EPC rating is E and the building’s solid-brick construction suggests limited built-in insulation; heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. Broadband is reported slow, and the setting in a deprived wider area may affect rental demand metrics and resale comparables.
Overall, this is a characterful, well‑proportioned seafront apartment that suits purchasers who value location and period detail and who are comfortable managing a listed building’s maintenance and refurbishment constraints. The long lease and low running ground rent make it easier to secure long-term plans, but budget realistically for energy improvements and any listed-building consent work.
