An attractive Victorian semi detached property located opposite the well maintained and planted Kingsnorth ornamental gardens, an oasis in the suburbs and also conveniently located for educational facilities to include the highly recommended Sandgate Primary School and both Boys and Girls Grammar Schools.

Slightly further afield is Folkestone Harbour and regenerated Harbour Arm which enjoys a bustling atmosphere with many pop up restaurants. The Old High Street within the creative quarter has many charming cafes and eateries, whilst fine dining can be found at the renowned Rocksalt restaurant, with its views over the harbour.

Dating from 1890, this elegant semi-detached Victorian residence is rich in original architectural detail and timeless character. A striking stained-glass entrance, full-height window, and intricate mosaic tiled hallway set the tone on arrival, complemented by a carved hardwood staircase and a wealth of period fireplaces, ceiling mouldings, sash windows, and panelled doors.

The ground floor offers a grand entrance hall, a light-filled open plan kitchen and dining room with pantry and bay window, and a separate living room with panelled ceiling and fireplace, opening to a charming loggia. A study and a flexible additional room—currently a successful Airbnb suite with independent access—provide ideal options for home working, guest accommodation, or income potential. A large cellar adds scope for storage or conversion.

Upstairs, generous bedrooms enjoy park views and original features, including fireplaces and sash windows. The upper floors include further bedrooms, bathrooms,...
