PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Set on Sandgate Road, right in the centre of Folkestone, this spacious split level maisonette delivers a rare combination of central convenience, generous proportions, and a sense of separation not often found in town centre homes. The property occupies a position within a small building of only two apartments, offering a quieter and more contained living environment. Internally, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and tastefully finished in neutral tones, resulting in a bright, clean aesthetic throughout. The main living accommodation is arranged around a large open plan kitchen, dining and living space, which provides flexibility for everyday living as well as entertaining. The kitchen is practical and well laid out, while the adjoining living area enjoys good natural light and ample room for both seating and dining furniture. The split level arrangement gives the property an individual layout while keeping bedrooms clearly separated from the social areas. The upper floor accommodates two comfortable bedrooms alongside a principal bathroom, all continuing the calm and well presented style seen throughout the home. A further benefit is access to a communal outdoor terrace, offering a useful and enjoyable external space - ideal for sitting out, despite the highly central location.The maisonette is offered with a long lease of approximately 114 years remaining and benefits from low ongoing service charges, adding to its appeal as both a personal residence and a long term investment. With shops, cafés, transport links, the harbour, and the seafront all within close proximity, the location is particularly well suited to those seeking an active and convenient lifestyle.
Altogether, this is a well sized and distinctive maisonette that combines space, location, and practicality within a compact and attractive setting.
