Summary - 42 FLAT 5 SHORNCLIFFE ROAD FOLKESTONE CT20 2NB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large two-bedroom apartment close to both Folkestone stations and seafront.
Top-floor Victorian flat with panoramic town and country views
This spacious top-floor flat sits in a Victorian red-brick building on Shorncliffe Road, offering panoramic town and country views from multiple rooms. The apartment has two double bedrooms, a bright south-facing living room, a large kitchen with views, and a grand entrance hall that gives the property a sense of scale and character. Practical layout benefits include a separate bathroom and WC, a long lease of 115 years, and communal grounds with mature trees.
The location is a key strength for commuters and first-time buyers: both Folkestone Central and Folkestone West stations lie within easy walking distance, with High Speed rail connections to London. Local amenities, good schools and the seafront are all nearby, making day-to-day living convenient.
Notable costs and considerations are transparent: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of around £2,600 per year, and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. The building has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, so thermal upgrades may be worthwhile. Recent communal works of approximately £75,000 have been carried out and scaffolding will be removed soon.
Overall this is a large, characterful apartment that suits first-time buyers, commuters or those seeking roomy accommodation with period features. The property offers immediate comfort and clear potential for improvement, particularly in energy efficiency and connectivity.
