KEY FEATURES
SUMMARY
For lovers of Edwardian architecture, there is much to get excited about here. This deceptively spacious period home has undergone extensive and sympathetic refurbishment by the current owner and now offers charming and beautifully presented accommodation throughout and many original and salvaged period features. Not only has a great deal of thought been given to creating a stylish blend of modern living and period charm, but also to the layout and spacial design which has resulted in a flexible home that would suit any number of different purchasers. This property also has off-street parking for two vehicles to the front and a lovely south facing landscaped garden with timber summer house to the rear. It also benefits from being within walking distance of all the local facilities and is within the catchment area for the Folkestone Boys and Girls Grammar schools. Viewing is highly recommended
