Pelham Gardens, Folkestone, Kent, CT20

Positioned discreetly out of view from the road in the prestigious Pelham Gardens, this exceptional five-bedroom detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home set within beautifully mature grounds approaching half an acre — offering privacy, flexibility, and sustainability in equal measure.

Set well back from the road and approached via a long private driveway leading to a double garage, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting surrounded by expansive wrap-around gardens designed to inspire throughout the seasons. The grounds themselves are a defining feature: thoughtfully landscaped yet practical, incorporating a large workshop, fruit orchard, a solar-powered potting shed, an established vegetable patch, and a tranquil wildlife pond that enhances the sense of retreat and connection with nature.

Inside, the house offers versatile and generous accommodation extending across five double bedrooms and a collection of impressive reception spaces perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining. A substantial rear family room further enhances flexibility, with planning permission already granted for conversion into a self-contained one-bedroom annexe — ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or independent workspace potential.

Sustainability has been carefully considered, with air-source heat pumps and an extensive array of 22 solar panels helping to power and heat the home efficiently — combining environmental awareness with long-term running cost benefits.

The location is equally compelling. This exclusive residential address sits conveniently equidistant between the town centre of Folkestone, the mainline station offering high-speed services to London, excellent local schooling and the ever-popular Sandgate Beach — placing coastal lifestyle, connectivity, and education within easy reach.

Altogether, this is a distinguished and rarely available home combining scale, privacy, character and future flexibility in one of Folkestone’s most sought-after residential settings.
