Cheriton Road, Folkestone, CT19 5HQ

A substantial and beautifully presented five-bedroom family home, situated in a highly sought-after area of Folkestone, located on the corner of Cornwallis Avenue & Cheriton Road, effortlessly combining charming 1930’s character with modern enhancements for comfortable contemporary living. Set within attractive and well-established wraparound gardens, the property enjoys a sweeping in-and-out driveway, offering privacy, along with the added benefit of a double garage. The current owners have thoughtfully upgraded the home with the addition of solar panels, water softeners, new boilers, and a fully updated heating system, ensuring both energy efficiency and ease of living, whilst also providing a potential passive income stream. Ideally positioned, the property is within easy walking distance of a wide range of local amenities, including the town centre with its variety of shopping and leisure facilities, as well as a selection of well-regarded schools, including both Grammar schools. The home is also just a stone’s throw from Three Hills and the soon-to-reopen Sports Centre, making it perfectly suited for family life. Folkestone Central and Folkestone West mainline railway stations are both within a close proximity, offering high-speed services to London in under an hour, ideal for commuters. Originally designed and built for a doctor, the property retains a unique and versatile layout. A former separate entrance to the side once served as a waiting room and surgery, now thoughtfully repurposed as a study and family room/snug. This area provides an excellent opportunity for those working from home or, subject to the necessary planning consents, could be reinstated or extended to create a self-contained annexe.
