This two-bedroom apartment in Folkestone, Kent, situated on Harvey Street near Folkestone Harbour, presents a mixed bag of pros and cons. Its location offers proximity to the harbour, potentially providing scenic views and access to local amenities. The proximity to Folkestone Central train station (1.51km) is also beneficial. Furthermore, there are several schools within reasonable distance, including the outstanding-rated St Eanswythe’s Church of England Primary School. However, the property’s condition is a major drawback. The provided images reveal an interior that is significantly dated and requires extensive renovation. The flooring, walls, kitchen, and bathroom all exhibit signs of wear and tear and require modernisation. The limited square footage information for similar properties (all listed at 0 sqft) hinders a complete analysis of value. The apartment’s lack of a garden or any exterior space is another potential drawback for buyers looking for more outdoor space. The list price of £100,000 should be evaluated in the context of the required refurbishment costs, making it necessary for prospective buyers to factor in these costs during their assessment. Overall, this property could be a viable investment for someone willing to undertake substantial renovation, but the condition significantly impacts its overall desirability. Further investigation into the precise quality of local amenities and comparative property sizes would be beneficial to fully determine value for money.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
