Elegant Grand Period Apartment in Folkestone's Prestigious West End | Moments from The Leas, Parkland & High-Speed Rail Links

Elegant Period Living in One of Folkestone's Finest Addresses

Occupying a highly sought-after position in the West End of Folkestone, this impressive grand period apartment forms part of the distinguished Waverley Lodge, an elegant 18th-century building set on a prominent corner plot within a peaceful and established residential street.

Directly opposite the property is attractive open green space, enhancing the sense of privacy and outlook, while just a short stroll away lies the world-renowned Leas Promenade—a sweeping cliff-top walkway designed in the Victorian era, offering landscaped gardens, coastal views and some of the finest walking in Kent.

This is a location that perfectly balances coastal lifestyle, commuter convenience, and period architecture, with both Folkestone West and Folkestone Central stations within easy reach, providing High-Speed rail services to London St Pancras in under an hour—making this one of the region's most attractive commuter settings.

The nearby West End is widely regarded as Folkestone's most desirable residential quarter, characterised by elegant period homes, tree-lined streets and immediate access to the seafront, The Leas, and the town's growing cultural and creative scene. The Harbour Arm, Creative Quarter and Old High Street are all within comfortable walking distance, offering an excellent selection of independent restaurants, galleries and seaside venues.

Character, Scale & Light Throughout

The apartment itself is beautifully presented and retains a wealth of stunning original features, complemented by generously proportioned rooms and excellent natural light throughout.

The stylish open-plan living and dining room provides a refined yet comfortable central space, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. This flows into a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, enjoying pleasant elevated views towards surrounding greenery and the nearby hills.

There are two substantial double bedrooms, both bright and well-proportioned, offering excellent accommodation for residents or guests alike.

A private staircase from the kitchen leads to a large loft room with roof light, providing exceptional versatility. Subject to the necessary consents, this space offers strong potential for conversion into a home office, studio, or additional accommodation. To note, this loft space is included in the freehold for this flat.

Share of Freehold & Well-Maintained Building
