This well-looked-after one bedroom apartment offers an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, investors or those looking for a convenient coastal retreat.

The property is also appealing from a practical and financial perspective, with over 100 years remaining on the lease, alongside a low service charge and ground rent, helping to keep ongoing costs manageable.

Location Summary Awarded Best Place to Live in The South East by The Times 2024; This coastal town is the very model of modern regeneration for shipshape and stylish living. Folkestone has seen much regeneration over the past few years, with much more planned going forward, especially surrounding the town centre and Harbour. Folkestone has a large array of shops, boutiques and restaurants as well as many hotels and tourist attractions.
