Description
This chain-free, extended three-bedroom semi-detached house in Folkestone offers approximately 1,392 sq ft of accommodation, including an attached garage. The ground floor has three separate reception rooms, a kitchen with a separate breakfast room, and a large utility room with access to the garden. The layout provides scope to consider changes around the kitchen and breakfast area, subject to professional advice and any required consents.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a third bedroom and a family bathroom. The property has been cared for by the same family and is described as needing updating, giving a new owner the option to modernise the existing rooms over time.
Outside, the large rear garden includes a patio, lawn, established planting, a greenhouse and a fruit tree. There is also an attached garage and driveway. The property is freehold, has an EPC rating of D and is offered with no forward chain.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a generous, extended family home with three reception areas, an attached garage and a particularly appealing established garden. The photographed rooms look usable and cared for, while the older finishes throughout offer a clear canvas to update and personalise, including scope to rethink the kitchen and breakfast-room area subject to feasibility and consents. The asking price is broadly in line with the local £/sq ft benchmark, which is reasonable for WHOTS; however, the numbers are still tight, with purchase plus the renovation midpoint already above the implied local-average value before fees. That makes the project’s eventual value and control of the works important.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom and refresh older finishes and flooring throughout the photographed rooms.
- Explore the potential to reconfigure the kitchen and breakfast-room area, subject to feasibility and any required consents.
