This is a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment located on the first floor of a fine period building in the prestigious tree lined Godwyn Road, known as the “heart of the West End” in Folkestone’s historical plans.
Formerly known as “The White House”, this building in Godwyn Road was one of the first properties to be built there c1920. Designed by prolific architect jl Seaton Dahl, well known for constructing Folkestone’s famous Leas Cliff Hall.
Due to its beauty, the house has featured in the 1922 edition of Small country houses of today, as well as in Country Life Magazine. It was then converted in to three apartments in the 1950s.
The accommodation, packed with period features, consists of a bright and spacious lounge, with large west facing bay window overlooking the beautiful gardens and floods of light during the afternoon until the sun sets, a generous modern kitchen/diner with integrated appliances including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven, microwave and hob. There are three lovely bright and spacious double bedrooms, the master and second bedroom benefit from built in wardrobes and the third bedroom leads to the front balcony offering wonderful views towards the downs. The modern bathroom was installed a few years ago and comes with a dual fuel heated towel rail and modern mixer shower and bath.
Presented in immaculate condition and being sold with the additional benefits of a lease with over 900 years remaining and equal share of freehold.
Close to transport links, it is ideally situated between Folkestone West (10 min walk) and Folkestone Central train station (15 min walk) both of which offer high speed rail links to London. The Leas Promenade is close by for daily walks by the sea, with both Sandgate and Folkestone high street a short walk away.
The apartment has been carefully renovated by the current owners, with an upgraded consumer unit and partial re-wire, eicr, a new boiler which was installed approximately two years ago and even sound insulation throughout the hallway and kitchen – something which is often missed in apartments!
Viewing of this exceptional property comes highly recommended - Godwyn road has very few apartments, so this really is a unique opportunity to live on one of Folkestone’s finest roads!
