A fully modernised and spacious two double bedroom top floor apartment in the attractive and historic listed building of The Manor House combines character, luxury and spectacular sea views in Folkestone's most prestigious location. Just one hour from central London by train this stylish property would make a wonderful home for local professionals or active retirees. It would also be the ideal lock up and leave solution for busy Londoners wanting to escape each weekend to their own coastal hideaway or entertain friends in a traditional Kent seaside village known for its vibrant arts community, emerging café scene, annual literary festival and stunning natural surrounds.


This beautiful and contemporary apartment has been recently refurbished to a high standard and has sweeping views from all principal rooms across manicured gardens and the English Channel to the coastline of France. The apartment is accessed to the side of the building via an entrance door with security intercom and stairs that are shared with one other apartment on the second (top) floor. The property is well laid out with two spacious inner hallways separating the living areas from the bedrooms and offering ample built in storage. The spacious reception room is dual aspect with a large picture window overlooking The Leas Promenade and Channel beyond and a smaller side window offering rooftop views down Clifton Crescent towards the town centre. This large light filled room is beautifully decorated in soft chalky colours and also has a corner cast iron fireplace with a coal effect gas fire for cosy winter nights. The large open plan kitchen and dining room is perfect for entertaining with top end appliances and bespoke cabinetry and a high, vaulted ceiling adding to the feeling of space and light. The kitchen has a good range of wall and base units including tall, pull out larder cupboards and side buffet with extra deep storage drawers (all with soft closing drawers and doors), a range of fully integrated Smeg appliances (i.e. fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave), a built-in Neff stainless steel double oven, a Smeg stainless steel five ring gas hob and extractor hood, combination gas boiler supplying central heating and hot water and recessed spotlighting. There are two large, double bedrooms each with stunning sea views and useful wash basins; the master bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and a shelved cupboard and access to a loft space. The bathroom comprises a white suite with a bath, a wash hand basin, a wc, a corner shower cubicle and white tiled walls with a feature frieze of iridescent Fired Earth tiles.

The Manor House is ideally positioned at the (seaside) end of Earls Avenue and the western side of the spectacular Leas Promenade. Built for the late Lord Radnor and his family in 1895 and converted in 1986 to provide eight charming and elegant apartments with outstanding sea views, the Manor House is within easy, level walking distance of the train station (with regular high speed services to London), the Leas Cliff Concert Hall and all that the Folkestone town centre has to offer including the old High Street, Creative Quarter, Harbour, award winning restaurants and weekend farmers market. The Lower Leas Coastal Park, the pretty coastal villages of Sandgate and Hythe, Sene Valley Golf Course, the Channel Tunnel, Canterbury and numerous coastal and country walking paths are also within easy reach. Occupying approximately two thirds of an acre of beautifully kept grounds The Manor House is extremely well maintained and one of Folkestone's most prominent historic buildings. Entry to property is via impressive wrought iron gates and there is a circular gravel driveway to the front of the building with each apartment having a designated off street parking space. The extensive and beautifully maintained communal gardens to the rear of The Manor House back on to The Leas and are a highlight of the property. They are laid mainly to lawn with flower and shrub borders and are fully enclosed by wrought iron perimeter railings with a range of mature trees offering further privacy and amenity.

The apartment is offered for sale with no onward chain.
