4 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious character apartment by the harbour, ideal for families and commuters.
Grade II listed former grammar school with strong Victorian character
Set within a striking Grade II listed former grammar school, this ground-floor apartment blends Victorian character with spacious, flexible accommodation. High ceilings, open fireplaces and large windows give the principal rooms a bright, airy feel, while a communal garden overlooks the historic viaduct. Two allocated parking spaces (one under a car port) add useful convenience for families with cars.
The layout offers versatile living: lounge, separate living room/bedroom, kitchen, dining hall, office, workshop/boot room, two further bedrooms, dressing room/bedroom and two bathrooms. The property sits within walking distance of the harbour, Sunny Sands Beach, the Creative Quarter and Folkestone Central station, making it practical for commuters and family life.
Important practical points are transparent: the vendor states 74 years remain on the lease but also that a new 999-year lease will be granted on completion — buyers should obtain written confirmation. Mortgage lenders commonly apply strict criteria where remaining lease length is short, so some lenders may refuse to lend until the new lease is formally issued. Service charges are approximately £2,400–£2,700 pa, EPC rating D and council tax band C.
This home will suit buyers seeking character, space and seaside proximity who are comfortable handling the legal/financial checks associated with listed buildings and lease arrangements. The building’s listed status protects its historic features but may limit external alterations and add conservation responsibilities.
