Fantastic Detached House With Huge Private Landscaped Gardens In An Extremely Sought After Location In Folkestone's West End.

Folkestone estate agents Your Key Move are proud to bring to market this exciting opportunity to purchase in one of the most sought-after locations in the local area. We know you need to love where you're going to live and if you buy the location before you buy the house you can do just that here!

Offering oodles of potential this lovely family home situated a 5 minute walk to Folkestone West and the High Speed Link to London and is ripe and ready to transform into your dream home. Commuters can be at St Pancras in less than an hour and Stratford International in 45 minutes. With the Folkestone School for Girls a short walk one way and the Harvey Grammar School for Boys the other this property is perfectly located and is sure to generate a huge amount of interest.

To the house itself and you'll notice a lovely kerb-appeal as it's set back nicely from the quiet road with a double driveway and an integral garage that beckons you closer to the house. Step inside the porch and into the hallway you're greeted to a well laid out area that branches off in all directions - to the right is the 3rd bedroom which could also be transformed into a downstairs office space should you wish or you might want to reconfigure and use the space differently to you requirements. There's a downstairs loo off the hallway and then further to the left the door to the kitchen. The kitchen benefits from an electric hob, integrated dishwasher and refrigerator - as well as an integrated oven and microwave - the area is well laid out with lots of cupboard and worktop space alike and having been recently refreshed is ready to welcome it's new owners. There's a very handy utility off to the side which is in need of updating but could offer a useful area for appliances plus enough room for additional storage should you need it - there's access both front and rear to this utility so it could even work as a boot-room or secondary entry point to the house if you needed it.

Back to the hallway and into the large open plan lounge-through-dining area. There's a sizeable fireplace and also double doors to the right into the Conservatory area which is a real sun trap! There's large sliding doors off the dining area which open out onto a mature and well maintained garden (more of that in a moment!). The lounge and dining area offer a huge amount of space and are crying out to be configured to the new owner's needs. There's a massive amount of potential here and the house offers the perfect balance between being able to move into and enjoy the space but also offering that project you've always been looking for. Whether you reconfigure the whole of the downstairs and bring the kitchen from the front to the rear of the house or extend further (subject to planning of course) there's so many options available to you and your imagination.

Out to the garden and easily one of my favourite parts of this property - well established, mature and maintained the garden is a calm, quiet and relaxing place to be. There's still potential to add an outdoor kitchen or extend the patio area but its also a place you can leave just as it is whilst you concentrate on making the house your own - having the reassurance that when all your hard work is done there's somewhere quiet and private to relax and unwind.

Back in the house and up the stairs the landing area is bright and laid out well but again it's only your imagination limiting you to how you make this area work. Currently serving the 2 upstairs bedrooms and the bathroom there's plenty of space to work with should you wish to extend or modernise this space as well. Bedroom 2 sits to the left, overlooking the front garden and out across the quiet tree-lined street below. There's built-in wardrobes in this well proportioned room and the chance to make the space your own as with the rest of the house - access to a huge eaves storage area is from here as well offering the potential for a walk-in wardrobe, an en-suite or both! Another option for the generous eaves space is to enlarge slightly by changing the roof pitch and create a walkway and entrance off the main landing for a 3rd bedroom upstairs which would really add value to the house and future proof the investment made here. Across the landing is main bathroom and its also a great space and well laid out but it's the other bedroom that offers further chance to add your own twist. This large and bright main bedroom looks out across the huge back garden and over the downstairs dining area the instant option is to put a lovely balcony out from here and open the space up fully to appreciate that wonderful private view. Another option would be to extend (STPP) and make the room even bigger or complement the addition of an en-suite as well.

Although this house is lovely in it's own right - being the perfect family home to move into and gradually make it your own over time - there's also the chance to make this the project you've been after as every room is well laid out and of great proportions giving the lucky new owner the chance to further enhance what is already fantastic....there's just so many options and you're really spoilt for choice - the house offers enough living space to move in and get settled plus the chance to make progress at your own speed.
