An attractive and substantial 1930s semi-detached house, occupying a desirable position on Shorncliffe Crescent — a sought-after residential area within easy reach of local schools, amenities and Folkestone’s seafront. This much-loved family home has been owned by the same family for over 40 years and offers spacious accommodation with excellent potential to extend, subject to the usual consents.
The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance porch with a convenient cloakroom/WC, a large sitting room with French doors opening onto a south-facing patio and garden, and a separate dining room ideal for entertaining. The kitchen offers scope for modernisation and potential to open into a larger kitchen–dining space if desired.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which enjoys partial distant sea views, together with a family bathroom and separate WC.
Outside, the property enjoys a generous south-facing rear garden — a true sun trap in summer — with an additional parcel of land beyond the main boundary, purchased by the current owners to enhance the plot. To the front, there is a neat garden, a long private driveway providing parking for two vehicles, and a single brick-built garage equipped with power and lighting.
There is significant potential to convert the large loft or extend to the rear (subject to planning permission), making this an appealing prospect for buyers seeking a home with both charm and future opportunity.
