Clifton Crescent, Folkestone

CHAIN FREE - STUNNING 2/3 BEDROOM LOWER GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT. Grade II Listed building. Occupying a prime position on the prestigious, sea-facing side of Clifton Crescent in Folkestone’s highly desirable West End, this exquisite 2/3 bedroom lower ground floor apartment represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that blends historic elegance with uncompromising modern luxury. Part of a distinguished period building, the entire block underwent a sensitive and high-quality refurbishment in 2024, preserving its architectural integrity while enhancing its longevity and appeal. A growing reserve fund adds further assurance for long-term investment security.

From the moment you enter the apartment, the standard of finish is immediately apparent. Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a harmonious fusion of period character and contemporary refinement. The vast living room, with its magnificent bay windows and warm wooden flooring, is both welcoming and striking—bathed in natural light and fitted with bespoke shelving and cabinetry that enhances both style and practicality. A discreet, ceiling-mounted projector transforms the space into a home cinema at the touch of a button, perfect for sophisticated evenings or family movie nights.

The kitchen is a true centrepiece—an elegant shaker-style design finished in tasteful tones, with a generous central island that doubles as a breakfast bar, ideal for casual dining or social gatherings. A range oven with gas hob caters to the most ambitious home cook, and there is ample space for a full-size American fridge-freezer and integrated dishwasher. This space feels open yet intimate, perfectly suited to both everyday use and entertaining.

There are two spacious double bedrooms, each with high ceilings and bespoke built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys a luxurious en-suite wet room, complete with a beautiful stone basin, modern towel rail, and sleek contemporary fixtures. A third room functions perfectly as a study, snug, or occasional bedroom—offering the flexibility that modern living demands.

The main bathroom is equally impressive, boasting modern luxury finishes, a full-size bath with overhead shower, and a calming, spa-like atmosphere. Uniquely, there is a pre-prepared space ready for installation of either a walk-in shower or a private sauna—an exceptional feature that allows buyers to further personalise the space and elevate the wellness experience within the home.

Outside, the apartment benefits from access to a private rear garden (shared by the building) and Clifton Crescent Gardens, offering a rare sanctuary of green space in this central location. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or entertaining guests al fresco, this area extends the living space beautifully and offers a peaceful escape.

Beyond the front door, Folkestone’s West End is renowned for its tree-lined avenues, grand Victorian architecture, and enviable coastal setting. Clifton Crescent itself leads directly to The Leas—an elegant clifftop promenade offering panoramic sea views, manicured gardens, and access to the coastal paths that stretch along the Kent coastline. The vibrant town centre is within easy reach, home to an array of independent shops, fine restaurants, cafés, and galleries, including the acclaimed Creative Quarter and the bustling Harbour Arm with its pop-up eateries, bars, and music events.

Commuters are exceptionally well-served, with Folkestone Central Station just 0.8 miles away, offering high-speed services to London St Pancras in under an hour. The area is also well-connected by road, with swift access to the M20 and Eurotunnel terminal.

In every aspect—design, specification, location, and lifestyle—this stunning apartment offers something truly special. It is a home of real presence and polish, positioned in one of the South East’s most compelling coastal destinations.
