About this property

East Cliff Gardens is a stunning townhouse in the coastal town of Folkstone. Close to shops, pubs, a harbour, and a beach, and with access to Dover and the Kent Downs National Landscape, this incredible home is an ideal base for friends, families, and couples seeking a memorable escape to the coast of Kent. Park off-road in the two spaces provided, before entering into this delightful home, discovering a self-contained living space on the lower-ground-floor. Here there is an open-plan living space with a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area, featuring contemporary decor and a light and airy feel. On this floor there is also a beautifully-presented double bedroom, serviced by a bathroom.

The remaining rooms can be found on the ground, first, and second floor, with a second open-plan living space offering another tasteful kitchen with large bay windows allowing in plenty of natural light, and a feature fireplace adding character. Here there is a stylish kitchen with dark cupboards and marble worktops housing ample amenities for cooking hearty meals, and a large dining table creates a space for guests to gather and dine together, enjoying a hearty meal and toasting to your getaway with a glass of fizz. The sitting room houses a Smart TV, library and plush sofas, a lovely space to curl up with a good book.

Settled across the first and second floor are four more wonderful double bedrooms, each with their own character and charm, as well as a shower room and separate bathroom. At the front of the property, there is a spacious terrace providing the ideal spot for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or evening drinks. The large lawned garden at the rear provides plenty of space for young ones to play and explore. Folkestone has become one of the South Coast’s most exciting destinations. Just a three-minute stroll brings you to Sunny Sands - Folkestone’s beautiful sandy beach - perfect for sandcastle building, sunbathing and water sports.

A five-minute walk in the other direction takes you to Folkestone Harbour, a vibrant hub filled with independent retailers, cafés, bars, and street food vendors. The home is also just a short walk from Sea Scrub Sauna, the UK’s largest beach sauna, and Folkestone Harbour Adventure Golf. The nearby Lower Leas Coastal Park offers beautifully landscaped gardens and play areas with stunning views of the Channel. The town is also home to one of the UK’s largest collections of outdoor public art. Add to that a thriving food scene - from relaxed beachfront eateries to standout independent restaurants - and there is something to suit every taste.

If you are looking for a walk in the countryside, make the most of the many trails throughout the Kent Downs National Landscape, or head over to Dover, where there are more beaches, eateries, and an impressive castle. For those keen to explore further afield, the historic city of Canterbury, as well as the coastal favourites of Deal, Margate and Whitstable, are all within a short drive. Animal lovers can visit Wingham Wildlife Park, or why not spend an afternoon at the historic Walmer Castle and Gardens? Whether you’re seeking relaxation, culture, or adventure, this exceptional home provides the perfect base for your Kent getaway.

Situated on the edge of the Kent Downs aonb, Folkestone is a lively port town, with a wonderful mix of amenities and attractions. There are over 100 art galleries and studios in the Creative Quarter and an excellent selection of bars and restaurants at Folkestone Harbour; you can enjoy beautiful sea views to France from The Leas; or enjoy a picnic or BBQ at the beach at The Lower Leas Coastal Park. You can take part in a fantastic selection of watersports at Folkestone’s sandy beach, including sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. The town’s second beach is much rockier and a great spot for birdwatching, wildlife lovers and fossil hunting! Explore parts of the 153 mile-long North Downs Way National Trail, which leads from Farnham to Canterbury and past the White Cliffs of Dover through the Kent Downs aonb and Surrey Hills. Within an hour you can visit Dover Castle and Chartwell, home to Sir Winston Churchill, or spend the day perusing the pretty cobbled streets and interesting shops of Canterbury. There are such many opportunities for day’s out in this wonderful corner of the country, making Folkestone the perfect choice for friends, families and couples.
