Stunning Two Double Bedrooms Apartment In The Very Sought After West End Of Folkestone.

Folkestone & Hawkinge estate agents Your Key Move are delighted to bring to market this fabulous two bedroom apartment in the eloquent Clifton Gardens in Folkestone Kent.

So lets take you through what this property has to offer and where its situated.

Clifton Gardens is right off the elevated famous Leas Promenade and so affords some stunning sea views from the apartment. Residents parking permits allow for on street parking but you won't have to rely on that as this property benefits from a very rare find indeed, having its own private secure basement car park. With electric doors, you have an allocated parking bay (one large car or two small cars could fit) along with two lovable storage cupboards at the back. With a fully maintained and serviced lift you won't have to ever worry about taking the shopping up flights of stairs to your apartment (unless you fancy the excursive of course).

So from the lift and up on the third floor, you enter into this luxurious apartment. What instantly impresses is the scale of the hallway which heads off past the two double bedrooms (both featuring some spectacular sea views) towards the living space. Before this as you head down the hallway you will find a modern fully tiled posh hotel standard bathroom. With heated town rail and large double sized walk in shower area, this bathroom will certainly not disappoint.

Back from the hallway you enter the large and exceptionally decorated open plan living room. This room is filled with natural light from all of the south facing windows (again providing some exceptional sea views over the leas promenade) and features an ornate fireplace. Behind this the original chimney breast lies in wait and can be easily serviced so as to cater for a log burner to be installed if desired. The dining section is huge and will cater for any social gathering with ease and sophistication. The room also opens up to the fantastic modern kitchen which houses all the built in appliances one would expect or hope for.

This whole apartment was recently refurbished with great love and care by the current owner, which is clearly evident from the exceptional finish and standard throughout.

Soak in the breath-taking sea view from the comfort of your own home, as the property overlooks the glistening waters that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Lastly lets not forget to mention the other stand out feature this property benefits from, the beautifully maintained and tranquile communal gardens. These gardens allow for pure relaxation in peace while soaking up the unobstructed south facing sunshine. Imagine relaxing with a cold glass of Prosecco while watching the famous Folkestone air show with the best seat in town, or alfresco dining with the lovely neighbours or friends and family.



Additional to note:


  • Lease 98 years

  • Service charge £3,000, paid in two halves every 6 months

  • No ground rent (As a share of freehold)

  • Allocated parking - rare for the west end of Folkestone

  • Boiler new (within the last 3 years), serviced each year

  • The flat was renovated 2 years ago, including a brand-new bathroom

  • South-west views with clear sunsets from the property

  • Very spacious living area, with the potential to be converted into a 3 bedroom

  • Electrical appliances in the kitchen, with space for a dishwasher to be added

  • Potential to add a real fireplace

  • Fast reliable broadband (Current owner works from home full time)
  • EPC rating C
  • Council Tax D
  • *A lease extension (for 90 years), which would give you a lease of 187 years would cost around £13,000. However, the premium paid for the extension would decrease with a smaller number of years. There would also be an option to purchase the freehold of the building with the majority of residents, which would work out to approximately £5,000 per flat depending on how many residents were involved in the purchase, which would be a cheaper option

Distance:


  • 50 yards from the leas

  • 5 min walk to the lower Leas and Mermaid Beach, down the zig-zag path

  • 5 min walk to the town centre and shops

  • 5 min walk to the Leas Cliff Hall

  • 10 -15 min walk to the train station (Folkestone Central)

  • 15 min walk to the old high street

  • 20 min walk to the harbour

Building and gardens:


  • Private communal well-kept garden directly opposite the Leas, ideal for watching the airshow and summer music from the bandstand

  • No short-term lets (e.g. AirBnB) are allowed in the building, a min of 3-month lets only - this is to provide all residents with better security and ensure the building remains quiet.

  • Communal, secure and quiet building, with all flats occupied by owners

  • Lift to all floors directly from the ground floor and basement car park

  • The building's communal areas are well-maintained and cleaned regularly



From a location perspective, Clifton Gardens is a highly sought-after West End address overlooking the sea. The property is positioned within a 15-minute walk to Folkestone West station (with high-speed rail links to London St Pancras) and as we mentioned is situated right on the Leas, with coastal paths leading to the beach, Sandgate village to the west (with its run of shops, bars, and restaurants) and Folkestone to the east (with its regenerated Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter). As well as the close proximity of Folkestone West station, nearby transport links include the Eurotunnel, the M20 and Dover Ferry Port, this property is perfectly situated for all your European and domestic adventures.
A note from the current owner:



"The location is ideal, and with parking, friendly neighbours, a quiet building and great sunsets make this the ideal place to be located all year around."

To summarise, if you are looking for West End living at its finest in a show stopping apartment with stunning sea views, private garaged parking and access to beautiful private communal gardens then look no further.
