- Panoramic harbour and sea views from the living room
- Split-level layout with striking spiral staircase feature
- Newly renovated interior; move-in ready condition
- Allocated off-street residents parking included
- Very long lease (circa 970 years) and low council tax
- Electric heating; solid brick walls likely lack insulation
- Slow broadband speeds and high local crime rate

Bright seafront one-bedroom apartment arranged over two levels, refurbished and ready to move into. The upper living room faces Folkestone Harbour with wide panoramic sea views through a large picture window; a striking spiral staircase leads down to the double bedroom and modern shower-room. Recent renovation gives a contemporary finish throughout while retaining Edwardian character and high ceilings.
Practical points include allocated off-street parking, well-kept communal gardens, and an exceptionally long lease (around 970 years). Heating is electric underfloor and room heaters; the building is solid-brick (likely uninsulated) and mains broadband speeds are reported slow. There is no flood risk and council tax is very low.
The location suits buyers seeking coastal lifestyle and strong transport links — Folkestone Harbour, the Creative Quarter and The Leas are a short walk away, with Folkestone Central offering fast rail to London. Be aware the local area scores high for crime and deprivation, which may concern some buyers or affect lettability and resale dynamics.
Overall this apartment will appeal to first-time buyers or those wanting a low-maintenance seaside base with immediate move-in condition and long lease security. Investors should note the excellent sea appeal but weigh local area challenges and slower broadband when modelling returns.
