About this home

PROPERTY DETAILS MARTIN&CO are delighted to offer this beautifully presented two-bedroom raised ground floor flat, recently redecorated and newly carpeted throughout, offering bright and comfortable accommodation in a popular and convenient location on Shorncliffe Road, Folkestone.
