A short walk to the Leas or the award winning Sandgate beach makes this a great buy for anybody wanting a seaside apartment! It has the added bonus of a basement storage cu...

The property is a 2-bedroom apartment located on Sandgate Road in Folkestone, Kent. It’s situated in Folkestone Central, offering proximity to Folkestone Central and Folkestone West train stations (1.04 KM and 1.41 KM respectively). Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including Earlscliffe (0.60 KM), which has a “Good” Ofsted rating, and The Harvey Grammar School (1.32 KM) and The Folkestone School for Girls (1.33 KM), both boasting “Outstanding” Ofsted ratings. This suggests a convenient location for families and commuters.

The apartment’s condition appears to be good. While some aspects might benefit from modernisation, the property is generally well-maintained and clean. The images show a traditional style with original features such as wooden floors and fireplaces. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional and in reasonable condition.

The property lacks a private garden (plot size 0.00 sqft), which is a common characteristic of apartments. However, the surrounding area provides access to green spaces, as evidenced by the images showing a nearby park.

Considering the list price of £200,000, the average price for properties in the area is £257,796, and the average price per sqft is £293. This property is 511 sqft, resulting in a price per sqft of approximately £391. This is higher than the average for the area. However, the property’s location, condition, and proximity to amenities may justify the higher price per sqft. Nearby comparable properties on Sandgate Road are listed between £230,000 and £300,000, supporting the list price’s reasonableness within the context of the local market.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
