Summary - Flat 4 Beach House, 3, Marine Crescent, FOLKESTONE CT20 1PS
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful two-bed flat with sea views — long lease, modest ground rent.
Sea-facing lounge with bay window and extensive natural light
A bright two-bedroom upper-ground apartment in a handsome Victorian terrace facing the seafront. Large sash windows and high ceilings give generous room proportions and a strong sense of light, while the lounge has a bay outlook across the beach — a real seaside selling point for first-time buyers wanting character and coastal access.
The apartment is offered leasehold with 103 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £125. Interiors include period mouldings and a separate fitted kitchen; the layout is practical with one family bathroom and two bedrooms. There is no flooding risk and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood and service limitations: this area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived. Broadband speeds are slow and the building may need routine maintenance typical of older Victorian terraces; images and descriptions suggest potential damp and higher upkeep. Council tax is inexpensive, and local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding.
At £195,000 the flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable, characterful home by the sea who is realistic about ongoing maintenance and neighbourhood challenges. The long lease and low ground rent reduce immediate tenure risk, but factor potential repair costs and slower broadband into your decision.
