Cliff Road, Folkestone, CT20

DESCRIPTION
Kestrel Crest is a most appealing family home which occupies a delightfully secluded, generous plot on one of the most coveted roads in Folkestone's prestigious West End. The property has been a much loved family home for the current owner for some 44 years. Whilst appearing to have bee generally well maintained, it is fair to say that it would now benefit from general updating but does however present an opportunity for purchasers to tailor this unique property to suit their own tastes and requirements and create a magnificent family home.

The accommodation, which exudes charm and character throughout, is of particularly comfortable proportions and comprises an impressive entrance hall leading to the sitting room, dining room and snug, all with original fireplaces. There is also a sun room and a particularly generous kitchen/breakfast room. The inner hall leads to a study, bedroom, cloakroom and shower room which, with its own entrance, could be reconfigured to create a self contained accommodation. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, some enjoying wonderful views over Sandgate and of the sea, a bathroom and a shower room.

The property occupies a generous plot totalling a little over a third of an acre of beautiful mature gardens which encompass the house to three sides and afford the property a great deal of privacy and seclusion. There is a wide driveway providing ample parking to the front and access to the garage and lawned gardens to the side and rear dotted with a wealth of shrubs and trees.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
