24 Pelham Gardens is a substantial four-bedroom detached family home, enviably situated close to The Leas Promenade and within easy walking distance of Folkestone West railway station. The property offers generously proportioned and versatile accommodation, with a number of attractive features throughout.

The spacious and light-filled ground floor includes a well-proportioned living room with a wood-burning stove and two sets of bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden. There is also a bespoke Smallbone fitted kitchen and breakfast area which opens into a large conservatory. The conservatory features three sets of double doors opening onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the house and garden and providing an ideal space for entertaining and family life.

Also on the ground floor is a study, offering excellent flexibility and the potential to be used as a fifth bedroom, if required. A downstairs cloakroom, retaining its distinctive retro pink colour scheme, completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, all rooms are accessed from a spacious central landing. There are four bedrooms in total, with the principal bedroom benefiting from bespoke Smallbone fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with matching Smallbone fitted units. The family bathroom features a retro aqua-blue colour scheme.

The extensive loft space is accessed via a pull-down loft ladder. The loft is largely boarded and provides excellent additional storage. To the front of the property, an attractive garden is complemented by a private driveway, accessed via electric gates and providing ample off-road parking. The driveway leads to an integral double garage with an electrically operated door. There is also potential to extend the accommodation over the garage, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents. The current owners have previously approached the local planning department and have received written confirmation indicating that there should be no objection in principle to the extension (letter on file).

The delightful south-facing rear garden is flat and level, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by attractive, well-stocked mature borders.

Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the stunning location and accommodation.
