Summary - Flat 3, 17 Earls Avenue CT20 2HG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free Victorian flat with long lease and new boiler, minutes from Folkestone Central.
Chain free two-bedroom first-floor apartment
A bright, period two-bedroom apartment in Folkestone’s desirable West End, offered chain free with a long lease and a fifth share of the freehold. The first-floor flat benefits from a bay-fronted lounge with high ceilings and plenty of natural light, two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen, family bathroom plus separate WC, and a small garden — rare for a flat of this type.
Practical strengths include a new boiler installed in 2024 and parts of the building having been refurbished externally. The property’s location is a major asset: moments from the Leas Promenade, a short walk to Folkestone town centre and roughly five minutes on foot to Folkestone Central station with HS1 services to London.
Buyers should note material facts: the building is of solid brick construction (likely no cavity insulation), the wider area is classed as deprived, and local broadband and mobile signals are average. The tenure is leasehold (900 years remaining) with a fifth share of the freehold — important for buyers to review service charges and any communal maintenance responsibilities.
This flat will suit first-time buyers wanting a central, characterful home with low immediate maintenance needs following the boiler replacement, or investors seeking a well-located rental in a popular part of Folkestone. While period charm and transport links are strong positives, factor in possible retrofit costs for wall insulation and confirm ongoing communal costs before committing.
