Property description
This rarely available and superb coastal penthouse offers seaside living at its best with extensive and uninterrupted views over the Channel, and clear views of the French coastline. With direct access to the beach and England Coast Path, where you can pick up the boardwalk to the popular Folkestone harbour arm restaurants and enjoy a glass of champagne at the lighthouse, or meander through the charming coastal park and enjoy a leisurely and scenic stroll along The Leas promenade.
From the ground floor a lift rises to third floor. With masses of south facing windows, the hallway is bathed in sunshine and has direct access to the covered terrace and the generous balcony. The kitchen is cleverly designed to be discretely incorporated into the living space with a peninsula bar. The kitchen is light and airy with Shaker-style base and wall units with extensive worktops, integrated appliances and Karndean flooring.
The generous open plan living space is divided into two distinct areas. The dining area, to the rear, is sufficiently large as to accommodate a sizeable table and chairs for both informal and formal dining. The sunny well-presented sitting area has a decorative fireplace with built-in storage to the alcoves and attractive display niches. Magnificent sea views are enjoyed through the large picture sliding doors with balcony access; there is also an adjoining covered terrace with direct access from the sitting room and hallway.
The spacious principal bedroom has built-in storage and balcony access, and benefits from a modern en suite bathroom. The guest double bedroom has built-in storage and an en suite bathroom whilst a further bedroom, accessed from the hallway, has a built-in wardrobe. The light-filled study/bedroom 4 has sea views and balcony access. The modern cloakroom offers shower facilities.
