Set on Clifton Crescent in Folkestone’s sought-after West End, this spacious three-bedroom lower-ground flat sits within an impressive Victorian terrace and benefits from high ceilings and generously sized rooms. A large lounge opens via double doors onto a private garden that backs directly onto The Leas Promenade — a pleasant green walking route with sea-facing access and summer bandstand events. The flat comes with a very long lease (approximately 999 years) and is offered chain-free, making onward moves straightforward.
The layout is traditional and family-friendly: three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, kitchen and an extra room currently used for storage. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The property’s period construction and sash windows contribute strong character and light, but the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the age of the double glazing is unknown; these are factors to consider for long-term running costs and comfort.
Practical points: broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, while mobile signal is excellent. The local area is cosmopolitan with a mix of residents, including student households and migrant families, and some neighbourhood indicators show higher deprivation; crime is average. Transport and local amenities are strong — the town centre is a short walk and Folkestone Central station is under a mile, providing regular links to London.
This property suits buyers seeking a spacious, characterful coastal home with garden access and excellent commuting options. It will particularly appeal to families who value nearby green space and good local schools. Buyers should budget for possible energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation, window replacement) and be aware of limited broadband speeds if remote working is essential.
