Situated in the West end of Folkestone and overlooking the famous Leas with panoramic sea views. Folkestone town centre is within a short level walking distance and offers a good selection of shops and supermarkets. The Leas Cliff Hall attracts a good selection of bands and comedy and the Band Stand regularly hosts music and carnivals. A short walk along the Leas is the Old High Street which has an eclectic range of shops and restaurants, such as the legendary Folkestone Wine Company, which has received glowing reviews in both the Guardian and the Telegraph. This leads in turn to the harbour area, which has had substantial investment in recent years. You will find the award-winning Rocksalt restaurant overlooking the Harbour, the sandy beach and refurbished old railway bridge across the marina, which leads to the Harbour Arm with its range of pop-up restaurants and bar, including a champagne bar in the old lighthouse. There is also an outside screen which regularly hosts films. The boardwalk across the beach leads to the coastal park which is beautifully planted and has an amazing wooden play area for children. Other attractions include the Quarterhouse Arts Centre - a key part of the town's literary and art festivals - and F51, a world-leading climbing and skateboarding venue. Folkestone Central railway station is within level walking distance and offers fast services to London St Pancras in just over fifty minutes. The M20 Motorway, Channel Tunnel Terminal and Port of Dover are also easily accessed by car. Folkestone also boasts a sports centre with various courts, pools, gym and even a dry ski slope.

VENDOR STATEMENT
After six wonderful years, we are relocating for work. It's hard to be leaving our home just as the external restoration completes, after redesigning and renovating the interior from the original floorboards up. Yes, this has meant Farrow and Ball on every wall, but also new plumbing, lighting, boiler, cast-iron radiators, a proper utility room, new bathroom and kitchen. And while we love the large, airy rooms, and the convenience of a quiet, secluded location that's twelve minutes' walk to the high-speed station and five minutes' walk to the beach, there's no doubt what we'll miss most: our view. We'll never forget the iridescent waves and the sun striking the French cliffs, or winter sunsets over the sea. Best of all are the clear nights, with the lights of Boulogne twinkling, and a full moon reflected in the water.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
