Set on Harvey Street in central Folkestone, this compact one-bedroom flat offers straightforward, affordable city living. The apartment totals 474 sq ft with a modest open-plan living/kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom — suitable for a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let purchaser. The block is modern (built 2007–2011) with double glazing and a long lease of 107 years.
Location is the property’s strongest asset: a short walk to the harbour, within comfortable walking distance of Folkestone Central station and the town centre’s shops and cafés. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home, while very low council tax and a low ground rent (£10) help running costs.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: the property is leasehold and sold with no onward chain, but there is a public notice of a received offer. The interior shows wear and would benefit from redecoration and some modernization. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators; the area records higher crime and higher deprivation indices, which may affect prospective tenants or resale prospects.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-entry city-base or an investor after an economical, easy-to-manage rental. The apartment’s compact footprint means value is in location and low holding costs rather than generous living space. Viewings recommended for those prioritising proximity to transport and seaside over interior size or gardens.
