Property Built in the 1920’s this detached four-bedroom family home with many of its original features has huge potential for someone looking to put their own stamp on a property. The property has been a family home for over 35 years and would benefit from some modernising alongside its many attractive and appealing features. The property boasts two reception rooms with wooden flooring, fireplaces and original sash windows. The kitchen is fitted with matching floor and wall cupboards, wooden worktops and butler sink, just off the kitchen is the dining/breakfast area which leads to the conservatory through sliding doors and there is also access to the garage which includes a utility area. The ground floor also has a cloakroom and WC. An impressive stained-glass window welcomes you on your walk up the stairs to the first floor where you will find three double bedrooms and a single bedroom. There is a family bathroom, separate WC and a laundry cupboard. From the large landing, there is access to the loft space which offers potential conversion with the required permission. Externally, there is off street parking for numerous vehicles to the front leading to the garage. The rear garden at over 120ft long offers more potential for extending the current property as neighbours have already done or landscaping to suit your needs. The current owners have used the garden to grow their own vegetables and planted lots of flowers, shrubs and trees. Found in the desirable West End area of Folkestone close to Folkestone West railway station providing a high-speed rail service to London St. Pancras. Excellent local schools are found just a short walk away and Folkestone town centre is within easy access where you will find a variety of shops, bars and restaurants with the sea front also within easy access.
Our Time Here We first saw the property back in 1981 when we were looking to relocate from Manchester. We knew the house was set in a lovely part of Folkestone, and in the only picture supplied to us it had a friendly sort of look. When we viewed the property, it didn’t disappoint and we have lived here for over 35 years since. The house dates from the 1920s and we love the original features, especially the beautiful big window above the stairs, letting in lots of natural light. We have two living rooms, a comfortable sitting room and a dining room, which is a more traditional space with an open fireplace. When our children were small, we would light the fire at Christmas time and sing carols around the piano, lovely memories that we will treasure always. Audley Road is a very good area from all points of view. Folkestone West is just a couple of minutes walk away, so for commuting it’s ideal. There is a friendly modern church on the corner, where we have been members since we moved here, and an hourly bus stops outside the house. There are good schools in the area, our children went to Sandgate Primary 5 minutes walk away, and the Harvey Grammar School and Folkestone School for Girls are both 10 minutes walk in different directions. We are also within easy walking distance from The Leas and the seafront (a pleasant 20 minutes). We will miss this lovely house and its large, productive garden, where our children played and dug a wildlife pond, but we are looking for somewhere a bit smaller now.
