This one-bedroom apartment in Folkestone’s Shoreline Crescent presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a modern, beachfront lifestyle. The property is part of a newly constructed development directly on the beach, with stunning sea views that are immediately apparent from the provided photographs. The interior is contemporary, featuring a stylish kitchen and bathroom. The apartment’s compact size of 560 square feet should be considered in relation to the price of £420,000.

The location is undoubtedly a major selling point. Folkestone Harbour is within easy reach, and the apartment’s proximity to several primary schools is an additional benefit for families, or for those looking for a property with potential for rental yield to families. However, the quality and suitability of these schools may need additional research to provide assurance. The distance to Folkestone Central train station (1.49km) is relatively short, offering good access to London and other parts of the UK.

While the pictures show a property that is finished to a high standard, and therefore appears to be in excellent condition, a physical inspection is strongly recommended to assess the condition of the building and the apartment. The lack of plot size is a drawback; however, the apartment’s prime coastal location and modern features are likely to offset this for many buyers.

The listed price should be evaluated by potential buyers in comparison to other recently sold similar apartments on the same street. As the size of this apartment, and comparables are lacking, a definitive determination cannot be provided. However, given the average prices of nearby streets and the desirability of beachfront living, the price seems to be in a reasonable range, but might be slightly higher than some similar properties not in such a desirable location. More information about features unique to this apartment, such as floor plan or allocated parking, is needed for a final pricing evaluation.

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