Interior 

Ground floor

As you enter the ornate front door, you are welcomed by an impressive entrance hall with a wood-burning stove. To the right is a large contemporary lounge with a cassette-burning stove. Full-width bi-fold doors lead to the patio and the outside dining area. The kitchen is minimalist and highly specified, with three ovens, an extra-large island that houses the induction hob and extractor, and seating for four. On the other side of the kitchen, there is a large ceiling lantern with casual seating, bi-fold doors, and windows that connect you to the south-facing garden. This spacious open-plan area flows into the dining room, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The utility room is configured to accommodate additional appliances and meet modern living needs. You can access the double garages and laundry room from the utility, as well as a communication cupboard housing the CCTV, internet, and TV box. A bright, spacious family room complements daily living near the kitchen, with bi-fold doors opening to the garden. The property also features a study for home working, a downstairs cloakroom, a W/C, and a boot room.

 

1st Floor

Upstairs, the style and beauty extend across five double bedrooms and five bathrooms. Each room has its own digital thermostat for individual climate control. The master suite features a spacious ensuite with his-and-hers sinks and an IQ shower, complemented by a large walk-in wardrobe with extra eaves storage. The second bedroom also includes an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while the third offers an ensuite and dressing area. The fourth bedroom has an ensuite and access to eaves storage, and the fifth, currently a nursery, easily fits a king-size bed. A luxurious family bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and marble sink completes the space.

 

Exterior

The spacious south-facing house sits on a generous plot with a driveway to the side for multiple vehicles. Large garden gates open from the drive into the garden, providing extra storage or access. The attractive rear garden is laid to lawn with a sun-drenched patio, kitchen, and pizza BBQ area for entertaining. A large shed, suitable for various uses, is positioned at the top of the garden near the raised vegetable patch for sustainable living.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly prestigious home in one of Folkestone’s finest locations; a property that combines refined living, generous proportions, and exceptional outdoor space, all finished to an impeccable standard.
