Bright and characterful, this three-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in a handsome Victorian building in Folkestone’s West End. With lift access and a bay-fronted lounge/diner, the flat makes the most of high ceilings and generous natural light while offering pleasant sea views across the communal gardens.
Practical ownership is a strong point: a share of the freehold and approximately 924 years remaining on the lease remove common leasehold headaches. The block has recently had exterior painting and re-pointing paid for by residents, so immediate communal maintenance needs are reduced.
The layout will suit buyers wanting period character and coastal convenience: three bedrooms (two with fitted wardrobes), a well-equipped kitchen and a large four-piece bathroom. Folkestone town centre, cafés and the Leas Promenade are within easy walking distance, and Folkestone Central offers high-speed rail to London in under an hour.
Be clear about limits: there is a single bathroom for three bedrooms, and the building’s solid-brick construction likely has little wall insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. The wider area has pockets of deprivation and average broadband speeds; this is a lively, mixed neighbourhood rather than a quiet suburb.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance period home with long-lease security and strong location appeal for buyers seeking coastal living near good transport links.
