About this property
Flat A, 6 Earls Avenue - A Beautifully Renovated Home with Exceptional Features
Welcome to Flat A, 6 Earls Avenue - an elegant and thoughtfully upgraded property offering a unique combination of period charm and cutting-edge modern living. Lovingly renovated over the past nine years, this spacious home blends superior insulation, smart technology, and high-end finishes to create a truly comfortable and future-ready living environment.
Inside, all renovated rooms benefit from full heat and acoustic insulation beneath the floorboards - a significant investment that enhances both warmth and privacy. The front room, for example, features specialist knauf acoustic rolls and a professional-grade soundproofing mat, making it an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing in peace.
Smart home features abound throughout the flat. Energy-efficient LED lighting is installed in every room, with Osram Apple HomeKit-compatible strips in the front room, dining room and entrance hall, allowing remote control of lighting ambience. The front room has been future-proofed with underfloor cabling providing Ethernet connectivity to four discreet wall points, and currently houses a home cinema setup with a built-in projector, surround sound, and a wide range of pre-installed connections including hdmi, usb, Ethernet, and co-axial.
Practical upgrades include power sockets with integrated usb-a and usb-c charging, and stylish new radiators with smart thermostats, individually controlled via Apple or Google Home systems. Both the main bathroom and en-suite have been fully refurbished, with excellent insulation and modern finishes. The main bathroom includes a dropped ceiling with access to a newly created, insulated loft storage area.
Outside, the rear garden is a peaceful, private oasis. It has been fully landscaped with premium Millboard decking (complete with a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee), Indian sandstone paving, a large Keter storage shed, and an outdoor kitchen area - perfect for entertaining. The flat also enjoys shared access to a secluded communal garden space to the rear, maintained by a small group of neighbouring residents for a modest monthly fee.
Externally, the entire building is in superb condition. The front was recently repointed using traditional lime mortar, with defective brickwork replaced to maintain the building's original character. Substantial roof repairs and redecorating of the upper-level render and woodwork were completed 2.5 years ago. The windows and external woodwork of Flat A were professionally restored and painted in Summer 2024.
Flat A comes with a share of the freehold, with no ground rent payable. The co-owners are a responsible and cooperative group who have managed the building sensitively and with long-term care. On-street parking is for permit holders only, ensuring residents always have a place to park. Annual permits cost just £42, with guest passes available at £2 per day.
This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously upgraded property in one of the area's most desirable addresses - ideal for buyers seeking comfort, style, and long-term value.
Identification checks
Should a purchaser(s) have an offer accepted on a property marketed by Miles & Barr, they will need to undertake an identification check. This is done to meet our obligation under Anti Money Laundering Regulations (aml) and is a legal requirement. We use a specialist third party service to verify your identity. The cost of these checks is £60 inc. VAT per purchase, which is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Location Summary
Fast becoming a sought after place to be, 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.
