Light-filled ground-floor living in Folkestone’s desirable West End, a well-presented two-bedroom apartment with strong period character. High ceilings, original features and a wide bay window give the main reception generous natural light and pleasant views across well-kept communal gardens to the front. A modern kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate maintenance needs while underfloor heating adds efficient warmth.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a long lease (c. 926 years) and a nominal ground rent of £1. Service charges average £3,644 per year—an important ongoing cost to factor in. Energy performance is rated D and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so there is scope to improve thermal efficiency.
This apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a period property near the seafront and good local schools. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and the wider neighbourhood shows higher levels of deprivation, which may affect resale and rental demand in parts. There is no flooding risk recorded and council tax is low.
Overall the flat is largely move-in ready with clear potential to increase value through insulation and energy upgrades. Buyers wanting period detail, convenient West End location and communal outdoor space will find this a compelling option, provided they budget for the service charge and consider broadband limitations.
