Share-of-freehold two-bed near Folkestone Central — ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Two-bedroom second-floor apartment, 716 sq ft
Light-filled and well-presented, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment sits in the sought-after West End of Folkestone, a short walk from Folkestone Central and The Leas promenade. The apartment offers a roomy lounge/dining room, separate fitted kitchen, modern shower room and two good-sized bedrooms — a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers.
The property is sold with a share of freehold and comes with water and sewage included in the service charge, simplifying running costs. There is also a garage and no onward chain, which can speed up a purchase. The flat's 716 sq ft of accommodation is a solid size for the area and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note a few pragmatic considerations: the lease has 98 years remaining, the annual service charge averages £2,040, and the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and local area deprivation. These facts affect long-term costs and suitability — the building may suit buyers prioritising transport links and coastal access over a completely tranquil setting.
Overall this is a straightforward purchase for a commuter or investor wanting immediate occupancy and rental potential close to transport, schools and town amenities. The combination of share of freehold, included water/sewage and proximity to the high-speed rail link to London represent clear value drivers if you can accommodate the area's social challenges and lease length.
