A Truly One-Of-A-Kind Victorian Home, Reimagined For Modern Living

A remarkable and exceptionally individual home, this former Victorian Turkish bathhouse has been transformed into a sophisticated, highly energy-efficient residence where original character meets outstanding contemporary design. Beautifully refurbished to an exacting standard, the property offers an unusually versatile arrangement of accommodation, combining impressive entertaining spaces with excellent facilities for family life, working from home and multi-generational living.

Set within easy reach of Folkestone Central and its excellent high-speed rail connections to London, this is a particularly appealing proposition for buyers looking to combine the convenience of a commuter town with the space, character and lifestyle rarely found so close to the centre.

From the moment you enter, the home makes an impression. Period features and architectural details have been carefully retained and complemented by high-quality modern finishes, creating a property that feels both historic and distinctly contemporary. The accommodation extends to four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the flexibility to suit families, downsizers or those requiring dedicated work and leisure spaces.

At the heart of the home is a stunning bespoke Wren kitchen, beautifully appointed with an impressive range of high-end appliances including a steam oven, pyrolytic oven, warming drawer and combination microwave, alongside an integrated ceiling extractor and Grohe tap. The kitchen forms a natural hub for everyday life and entertaining, with the wider property offering a wealth of versatile reception space.

For those working from home, the accommodation is particularly well suited, with dedicated office space, hard-wired Ethernet and excellent connectivity throughout. One of the most impressive spaces is the soundproofed cinema room, complete with zoned lighting, blackout Velux windows and a Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system. An infrared sauna adds another unexpected touch of luxury, creating a private wellness and entertainment space within the home.

The ground floor also provides excellent flexibility, including a generous bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en-suite wet room designed with accessibility in mind. This makes the property equally suitable for those seeking future-proof accommodation or comfortable single-level living.

Upstairs, three further bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully designed bathroom featuring a remote-controlled Aqualisa shower, built-in speakers and a sophisticated contemporary finish. Solar-powered Velux windows with integrated blinds and rain sensors are another thoughtful addition, bringing both convenience and energy efficiency.

The home's environmental credentials are equally impressive. Two sets of solar panels generate up to 8kWp, while surplus energy can be used to heat the property's substantial hot water system and charge the two electric vehicles. There are two dedicated EV charging points, with the electrical installation renewed in 2023.

Outside, the landscaped south-facing garden provides a private and surprisingly exotic setting. Mature tropical planting, a pond, automatic irrigation and carefully positioned outdoor lighting create a wonderful garden retreat, while an outdoor sink with both hot and cold water makes the space particularly practical for entertaining and gardening. A substantial concrete base also provides an ideal opportunity for a garden cabin, studio or additional workspace, subject to the necessary permissions.

To the front, private parking for two vehicles further enhances the property's practicality, particularly given its central location.

This is a home that genuinely needs to be viewed to be appreciated. The combination of its fascinating Victorian heritage, exceptional refurbishment, sophisticated technology, impressive eco credentials and highly versatile accommodation makes it unlike anything else currently available in the area.

For commuters, the opportunity is particularly compelling: a characterful and individual home offering an exceptional standard of living, extensive space for work and leisure, private parking and a beautiful south-facing garden, all within easy reach of Folkestone Central and its direct rail connections to the capital.

Location
Awarded Best Place to Live in The South East by The Times 2024; This coastal town is the very model of modern regeneration for shipshape and stylish living. Folkestone has seen much regeneration over the past few years, with much more planned going forward, especially surrounding the town centre and Harbour. Folkestone has a large array of shops, boutiques and restaurants as well as many hotels and tourist attractions. Folkestone is fortunate to have two High Speed Rail links to London, both offering a London commute in under an hour. There are great transport links to surrounding towns and cities and easy access to the continent too. With so much going on and with the future bright, Folkestone is an excellent location to both live and invest in.
