Cliff Road, Folkestone, CT20

DESCRIPTION
Prospect House is an attractive family house occupying a generous corner plot on one of the most coveted roads in Folkestone's prestigious West End. The property has been in the same ownership for 25 years and now presents the opportunity to update and improve the accommodation to create a magnificent family home to suit the purchasers' own tastes and requirements. Solar panels on the roof provide income from sustainable electricity.

The light and elegantly proportioned accommodation provides a generous reception hall, leading to a large reception room with bay window to the front, Adam style fireplace and glazed doors opening to the reception/garden room and rear garden. The attractive dining room also overlooks the garden as does the spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The utility room opens to the double garage whose windows overlook the front garden, offering the ideal opportunity to create a fourth reception room subject to consents. On the first floor, there is a family bathroom and five double bedrooms including the Principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom and glazed doors opening onto a large, south-facing terrace/ balcony overlooking the garden and The Leas beyond. The generous landing provides ample space for a home study. The second floor is an open-plan area spanning the entire length of the house with Velux windows providing views over The Leas to the sea.

The gardens surround the house on all sides and provide a delightfully secluded environment for alfresco dining and entertainment with some wonderfully mature specimen trees, shrubs and an ornamental pond. There is an ample, sweeping gravelled drive to the front and side of the house, leading to the detached single garage as well as the double integral garage.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
