The property is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment located in Arras Close, East Folkestone, Kent. It is a new build apartment with 695 sqft of living space and benefits from a communal garden. The nearest train station, Folkestone Central, is 1.17km away. Several primary schools are within a 1km radius, including Christ Church Cep Academy, which has a good Ofsted rating.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in excellent condition, with a modern, well-maintained interior and exterior. The kitchen and bathrooms are contemporary and well-equipped. There is no evidence of wear and tear or the need for renovation.
The list price is £245,000. The average price for properties in the area is £267,119, and the average price per sqft is £301. While the property is smaller than the average (695 sqft vs 886 sqft), its modern condition and proximity to amenities suggest the price is reasonable. Nearby comparable apartments have sold for £175,000 and £235,000. Considering the apparent high quality of this new build compared to those, the price seems justified. The lack of a private garden is offset by the communal green space.
The location scores well due to its proximity to transport links and schools. However, the lack of specific details on local shops and other amenities prevents a more definitive assessment.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
