East Cliff, Folkestone

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Martin and Co are offering this delightful, one bedroom flat. Situated near local shops and town centre, this top floor flat comprises a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and views of The Downs from the bedroom. The generously sized sitting room also affords glimpses of the English Channel.

Opening the door to this apartment you are greeted by it's own set of stairs that lead to all rooms. This is especially nice as you feel separate to the rest of the building. Carpeted in grey and painted in white this flat has a new fresh look.

The first room on your left is a fully fitted bathroom which includes a shower over bath and a heated towel rail. Although not the biggest of bathrooms it has a surprising amount of space and has a full sized bath which will be nice to chill in after a walk along the Downs.

The door in the hallway leads to the living room. With a wall of windows this room is brilliantly lit up and has glimpses of the sea. Big enough to fit a good size sofa suite and table and chairs. The Kitchenette is behind a set of glass doors and comprises of a hob, cooker with extractor fan and space for a washing machine or fridge.

The last room in the property is the double bedroom that has fitted double wardrobes, so all you will need is your bed and bedside tables to fill this lovely little space.

The property also benefits from a loft room which can be used as an office, snug, dressing room, games or play room.

The location offers easy access to shops as well as being within short distance of Folkestone's town centre and mainline train station (36 minutes to Ebbsfleet and 55 minutes to St. Pancras). There are excellent transport links to the M20 motorway network, the Channel Tunnel and the port of Dover.
