Set within a handsome Edwardian building, this lower-ground one-bedroom flat offers unusually generous internal space for a single-floor apartment. The principal bedroom is very large and the lounge is well proportioned, giving flexibility to reconfigure or create a home office. Double glazing and gas central heating give practical comfort, and the long lease (c.995 years) removes immediate leasehold concerns.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Folkestone Central station (fast links to London) and local shops, cafes and services. The flat includes access to a shared rear garden with a private section for this flat—useful outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining in an urban setting. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting commuting and home working.
Suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, the layout provides good rental or owner-occupier appeal in an area seeing ongoing regeneration. Note this sale is by modern auction: subject to a reserve price, buyer’s fees apply and terms should be reviewed before bidding. Service charge is c. £1,776 per year.
Be candid about downsides: the neighbourhood displays higher crime and relative deprivation compared with surrounding areas, and some internal décor and communal areas will benefit from modernization. The property sits on a late-Victorian/Edwardian building that may require routine period maintenance. There is no flood risk recorded, but buyers should budget for cosmetic/updating works to achieve full market potential.
