About
Offered to the market chain free, this three bedroom link detached house is tucked away in the ever-popular Beech Close, a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Folkestone that is particularly well placed for families, commuters and those looking to put their own stamp on a home.
The property now requires modernisation, but offers fantastic scope to update, reconfigure or extend subject to the usual consents, making it an exciting opportunity for buyers wanting to create a long-term home.
Practical improvements have already been made, including a new boiler installed in December 2022 and a recently replaced flat roof, providing a reassuring starting point for any future works.
The accommodation is well proportioned, with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a separate lounge and dining room, connected by double doors to create a flexible living space.
Large windows to both the front and rear allow plenty of natural light to flow through, while the kitchen benefits from direct access into the attached single garage as well as out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are two comfortable double bedrooms and a generous single bedroom, along with a family bathroom and a separate W/C, complemented by a further W/C on the ground floor.
Externally, the property continues to impress.
The east-facing rear garden is a good size, mainly laid to lawn and enjoys a pleasant open aspect as it backs onto a playing field, providing a sense of space and privacy not often found.
To the front, there is off-street parking via a driveway which has the potential to be extended to accommodate up to three vehicles, in addition to the attached garage.
The location is a real highlight. Folkestone Central station is approximately 0.6 miles away, offering high-speed services to London, making this an excellent option for commuters.
There is a strong selection of well-regarded schools close by, including Turner Free School around 0.5 miles away and Stella Maris Catholic Primary School just 0.1 miles from the property.
Folkestone Sports Trust facilities are also approximately 0.1 miles away, ideal for families and those with an active lifestyle.
Radnor Park is within easy reach, providing green open space, play areas and riverside walks, while Folkestone town centre offers a wide range of shops, cafés and amenities.
The seafront and beach are also easily accessible, allowing you to enjoy coastal walks and the vibrant Harbour Arm with its restaurants and events.
With its desirable location, generous plot, garage and parking, recent key upgrades including a new boiler and flat roof, and huge potential for improvement, this chain free home presents a superb opportunity to create a property perfectly tailored to your needs in one of Folkestone's most convenient residential areas.
