The five/six bedroom property is a short stroll away from famous promenade The Leas, with its beautiful cliff top walk and spectacular views across the English Channel. It is also within walking distance of Folkestone’s two railway stations, connected to the high speed rail link, and the town centre.

Believed to have been built in the 1920s, the house has recently undergone extensive refurbishment, including a new central heating system, rewiring and re-plastering in most rooms, a new kitchen, and wiring for satellite TV in all rooms.

It has retained many of its original features, however, with an elegant staircase greeting visitors to the entrance hall, and spacious and light reception rooms with decorative fireplaces and stripped and stained wood floors.

The kitchen/breakfast room has Shaker-style units, a Rangemaster gas cooker, luxury Travertine flooring and double doors opening to the garden. There is also a family room/potential bedroom, shower room and a striking black cloakroom.

The first floor has two bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and a further bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. A main bedroom has wall-to-wall fitted wardrobe cupboards and a double aspect view. There is also a study/bedroom and a Moroccan-themed family bathroom on this floor.

For those with an eye on entertaining, the sun room with sliding double doors to the garden would serve as an ideal party venue.

The large back garden is laid to lawn with established borders, also has a large patio area, perfect for al fresco get-togethers next to the house, while providing parking for a number of vehicles if necessary. There is also a delightful pergola area with a built-in barbecue.

There are double gates to the side of the house with space to build a garage, subject to planning permission.

If you are looking for a unique family home offering all the character of an older property with the very latest conveniences, this could be your dream house.
