GREAT FAMILY HOME IN SOUGHT AFTER LOCATION WITH HUGE GARDEN!

MILES AND BARR are very pleased to offer this three/four bedroom home to the market.

Located in the very sought after Shorncliffe Crescent, this home is within easy reach of the town centre and sea front, great schooling at both Junior and Grammar levels and excellent transport links including the high speed link to London, making this home ideally situated for all your needs.

The home has been extended and now offers versatile accommodation and would be perfect for those who may have a dependent relative or growing teenager with ground floor bedroom and wet room. The full accommodation comprises; entrance hall, downstairs cloakroom, lounge, dining room, kitchen and a further reception room/bedroom four and a wet room to the ground floor. Upstairs you will be pleased to find three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside to the rear, this home has a wonderful garden approximately 120ft in length which is mainly laid to lawn and has a lovely Magnolia tree and a mixture of flowers and fruit trees.

To the front and side there is ample off street parking which in turn leads on to a double tandem sized garage, ideal for storage and cars but also ripe for conversion and extension, subject to relevant planning permissions and building regulations.

With it's sought after location, huge garden, versatile accommodation and so much scope to improve, we expect interest to be high, so don't delay and call MILES AND BARR today for more information and your chance to view.

Fast becoming a sought-after place to be, Folkestone has seen much regeneration over the past few years, with much more planned going forward, especially surrounding the town centre and Harbour. Folkestone has a large array of shops, boutiques and restaurants as well as many hotels and tourist attractions. Folkestone is fortunate to have two High Speed Rail links to London, both offering a London commute in under an hour. There are many great schools at both Junior and Grammar levels. There are great transport links to surrounding towns and cities and easy access to the continent too. With so much going on and with the future bright, Folkestone is an excellent location to both live and invest in.
