Albion Villas, Folkestone

Mapps Estates are delighted to bring to the market this immaculately presented second floor contemporary duplex apartment in a handsome period building overlooking Folkestone harbour and beach and boasting a panoramic view across the English Channel to the north coast of France. The spacious and well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors, comprising an impressive open plan living space with feature French windows opening onto a Juliet balcony from which to admire the view, a contemporary fitted kitchen/diner, three double bedrooms and a 'Jack & Jill' modern fitted bathroom. The apartment was fully refurbished approximately seven years ago, and benefits from a long lease and a share of the freehold.
