Property description

Situated in Folkestone's prestigious West End and presented with original features of the highest standard, this spacious and somewhat exclusive apartment has elegance, grandeur and opulence which is second to none.

Once a former crammer/military school, back then known as Penfillan House, and with former custodians having connections to the royal family, this outstanding home truly gives you the opportunity to own your own slice of history. On a very rare occasion you will enter a home and be completely speechless; this awe inspiring home is likely to have that effect. Designed in a bygone era, where architecture had style, grace and sophistication, aesthetics were everything. Arched recesses, deep skirting boards, high ceilings complete with ceiling roses, cornicing and chandeliers, stunning fireplaces, lavish bathrooms providing an element of luxury, all together accentuates this home's grandeur. There is a flow to this home like no other. The main bedroom has arched access to a suitably extravagent en-suite bathroom. The real jewel in the crown here has to be the lounge and dining room. Seamlessly flowing into one another, yet maintaining their own identity and illuminated with light, entertaining couldn't have a better platform if you tried. Putting most stately homes to shame, this magnificent apartment is a masterpiece in its own right and will be an honour to own..

What the Owner says:

This home has been a labour of love. The wealth of character features, the open fire, spacious rooms and of course the location were the attraction, and the opportunity to restore it to its former glory. No stone has been left unturned with a sympathetic restoration to a high standard paying attention to detail wherever possible. Walnut flooring, new chandeliers and bespoke furniture are just some of the improvements made. We have also blended in some modern touches like the state of the art entertainment system which is also included in the sale.

For Christmas we hired caterers and hosted dinner for 16 people comfortably which, when it comes to entertaining, makes this home the perfect venue.
