Mount Pleasant Road, Folkestone, Kent, CT20

A beautifully presented seaside cottage in one of Folkestone's most sought-after locations, just moments from the harbour, beach and vibrant Creative Quarter.

Tucked away on a quiet residential street, set back from busy roads yet just a short stroll from Folkestone Harbour, this charming period cottage perfectly balances coastal tranquillity with town-centre convenience. Very well presented throughout, the property has been sympathetically renovated to an excellent standard over the past five years and is ready to move straight into, whether as a permanent home, stylish seaside retreat or lucrative holiday let.

The accommodation is bright, welcoming and thoughtfully arranged, featuring a spacious open-plan living area, a modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom, alongside two light-filled double bedrooms. A generous cellar provides valuable additional storage space and is ideal for DIY enthusiasts or housing household equipment.

To the rear, a private, secluded courtyard offers the perfect setting for morning coffee or al fresco dining during the warmer months, while a glimpse of the sea can be enjoyed by looking east.

The property also offers exciting future potential. Planning permission was previously granted for a loft conversion, with plans available to view upon request.

Its location is exceptional. Sunny Sands Beach is around a ten-minute walk away, as is the Creative Quarter, renowned for its charming cobbled streets, independent boutiques, galleries and curiosity shops, together with an excellent selection of cafés, bars and restaurants, including the acclaimed Rocksalt. Folkestone continues to flourish as one of Kent's most exciting coastal destinations, with significant ongoing investment in the harbour area by Roger De Haan helping to transform the waterfront into a thriving leisure and cultural hub. The recently opened beachfront sauna complex is also nearby, providing the perfect complement for sea swimming enthusiasts or those seeking a relaxing wellness experience by the coast.

Commuters are equally well served, with Folkestone Central station approximately a twelve-minute walk away, offering high-speed services to London, while the new bus station and Tesco Superstore on Foord Road are even closer.

Successfully operated as a holiday let, the property has achieved rates of up to £140 per night during peak season, making it an attractive investment opportunity as well as a wonderful place to call home.
