Description

Prospect House is a charming family residence set on a spacious corner plot in the highly desirable West End of Folkestone. Having been under the same ownership for 25 years, this property is ripe for renovation, providing an exciting opportunity to modernize and customize the space to meet personal preferences and lifestyle needs. The roof is equipped with solar panels, which can offer an income stream from sustainable energy. The well-lit interior features a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a substantial reception room complete with a bay window, an Adam-style fireplace, and access to both the garden room and rear garden through glazed doors. An appealing dining room also views the garden, while the sizeable kitchen/breakfast area has excellent potential for upgrades. Additionally, the utility room provides access to a double garage that could be transformed into additional living space, pending necessary consents. On the first floor are five generously sized double bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite bathroom and direct access to a sizable south-facing terrace overlooking the garden and beyond. The landing offers potential space for a home office setup. The second floor boasts an expansive open-plan area featuring Velux windows that capture stunning views toward the sea. Surrounding gardens create a tranquil retreat ideal for outdoor gatherings, enhanced by mature trees, shrubs, and an ornamental pond. A sweeping gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to both a detached garage and the integral double garage. This property is situated along a peaceful no-through road just steps from The Leas promenade with its breathtaking sea vistas towards France. The vibrant nearby coastal village of Sandgate offers various shops and restaurants, while Folkestone town center is just over a mile away. Excellent educational institutions are within easy reach for families seeking quality schooling options. Access to transportation links—including Folkestone's West End station—facilitates convenient travel to London via high-speed rail service.
