1 bedroom Flat for sale, The Durlocks, Folkestone, Kent, CT19
Features and Description
Forming part of this imposing historic cliff top building is this one bedroom first floor apartment with ALLOCATED PARKING. The apartment is located in the sought after St Andrews development which is located on the East Cliff of Folkestone and offers secure video entry leading in to the spacious communal entrance hall with a wide staircase leading to the first floor and personal entrance to the apartment. The St Andrews building is a desirable place to live with a well maintained and run building which is offered with a share of the freehold. Once inside the beautifully presented accommodation features a stylish fitted kitchen, a superb bathroom with roll top bath and shower over, light and airy living room and a good size double bedroom with two double fitted wardrobes and space for a personal home office. The communal gardens are a real feature of this development with various seating areas where you can enjoy the stunning panoramic sea and harbour views. Nearby there are wonderful clifftop walks and personal access from St Andrew's leading to the regenerated harbour area and beach. This excellent apartment is being offered to the open market with no forward chain with early viewing coming highly recommended.
Situation
The attractive communal gardens to the rear offer panoramic views overlooking the harbour and sea beyond, with a private gate that leads to the steps which take you down to the seafront. There you will find a range of amenities such as the Sunny Sands beach, fish stalls, bars, restaurants and access to the now regenerated and ever popular 'harbour arm' with an array of food stalls, bars and entertainment, all overlooking the sea. Nearby is the old high street and creative quarter which has seen huge investment and improvement over the last few years including galleries, quirky independent shops, bars, restaurants and coffee shops. This recent investment has created significant interest from London buyers particularly drawn by the high speed service to Stratford in 45 minutes and Kings Cross St Pancras 55 minutes. Another appeal to the Folkestone area is the ease of access to the continent by either the local Eurotunnel or ferries from the neighbouring port of Dover. Combine this with excellent local primary and secondary grammar schools, it makes this the ideal seaside town to move to.
