Stunning seafront flat with triple aspect views to the south, west & east!

This beautiful flat is the perfect seaside retreat or for anyone looking to retire to the coast. The property is immaculately presented throughout and ready for new owners to move in & enjoy.

The Metropole is an icon of Folkestones skyline, this historic building still exudes the character & grandeur of a when it was originally built and has been very well maintained over the years. As you come in through the grand entrance (with new video entry system) you will be struck by the high ceilings, regal decoration and vast communal spaces. There is a stunning staircase as well as the two lifts that take you to the fourth floor where there is another secure door into the hallway.

Inside the flat all rooms lead off a bright central hallway, to the right is an open plan lounge / diner with new flooring and two sea facing windows. On the left is the modern fitted kitchen with the added bonus of a separate utility room & a stylish bathroom with spa bath. Owners have the choice of two luxurious bedrooms, one at the front with direct views across the Channel or one on the East side with high quality fitted wardrobes and clever storage.

The communal spaces including gardens & car park are very well maintained by a maintenance team that are on site Mon-Fri. Outside the flat you have access to a communal laundry rooms and private store room. Residents tell us this is a perfect place to retire to or use as a holiday home due to its security, low maintenance & active community.

Location Summary
Awarded Best Place to Live in The South East by The Times 2024; This coastal town is the very model of modern regeneration for shipshape and stylish living. Folkestone has seen much regeneration over the past few years, with much more planned going forward, especially surrounding the town centre and Harbour. Folkestone has a large array of shops, boutiques and restaurants as well as many hotels and tourist attractions. Folkestone is fortunate to have two High Speed Rail links to London, both offering a London commute in under an hour. There are great transport links to surrounding towns and cities and easy access to the continent too. With so much going on and with the future bright, Folkestone is an excellent location to both live and invest in.
