Description

Offered with no onward chain, this spacious two-bedroom end-of-terrace home is located in the heart of Cheriton High Street. The property presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers or investors looking to take on a project, as it is in need of modernisation throughout, yet full of potential.

Set across three levels, the accommodation includes a spacious lounge to the front, a separate dining room, and a kitchen at the rear with direct access to a private rear garden. Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, along with a bathroom and separate WC.

At street level, the property features a driveway with off-road parking for one vehicle, leading to a garage.

The home benefits from convenient location, just a short walk from Folkestone West train station, which offers high-speed services to London, making it an ideal location for commuters. In addition, there is easy access to the M20 motorway.

This property is a rare find for those looking to add value in a sought-after area.

Identification Checks
Should a purchaser(s) have an offer accepted on a property marketed by Miles & Barr, they will need to undertake an identification check. This is done to meet our obligation under Anti Money Laundering Regulations (AML) and is a legal requirement. We use a specialist third party service to verify your identity. The cost of these checks is £60 inc. VAT per purchase, which is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances.

Location Summary
Awarded Best Place to Live in The South East by The Times 2024; This coastal town is the very model of modern regeneration for shipshape and stylish living. 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 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.
