The property is a 2-bedroom apartment located in Defiant Close, Hawkinge, Folkestone, Kent. Hawkinge benefits from relatively close proximity to Folkestone West and Folkestone Central train stations, approximately 3.10 KM and 3.31 KM away respectively. The area also has several schools within a reasonable distance, including The Churchill School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Hawkinge Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’). This suggests a convenient location for families and commuters. The presence of local shops and amenities in the immediate vicinity, as evidenced by the photographs showing commercial units in the same building complex, further enhances the location’s appeal.

The apartment itself appears to be in excellent condition. The photos show a modern, well-maintained interior with recently updated fixtures and fittings. The open-plan living area and kitchen are spacious and bright. Both bedrooms are well-presented and the bathroom is clean and functional. There is evidence of a small, private outdoor space visible from the living area windows.

While the exact square footage isn’t provided, the plot size is listed as 696.40 SQFT. Although this is not a large plot, it does offer some private outdoor space, which is a desirable feature.

Considering the average house price in the area is £369,163 and the average price per sqft is £341, the asking price of £157,500 appears significantly lower. However, it’s important to note that the average price and price per sqft data may not accurately reflect the market value of apartments, especially those in newer developments. The nearby comparable listings of similar apartments in Defiant Close, ranging from £200,000 to £220,000, suggest that the property’s list price might be undervalued, but further investigation into the specifics of those properties would be needed to confirm this.

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