4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Limes Road, Folkestone CT19

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a fine example of a period semi-detached family home on the highly sought-after Limes Road in Cheriton, where properties of this calibre seldom come to market. This traditional Victorian residence, extending to an impressive 2014 square feet across three well-proportioned floors, offers the discerning buyer a wonderful blend of original character and tremendous potential to create a truly exceptional family home.

From the moment you step inside, the period charm is evident throughout, with beautiful original features including elegant picture rails, fireplaces, period mouldings and an attractive wooden staircase that speaks to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The ground floor flows effortlessly, beginning with a magnificent living room measuring an generous 18'8” x 13'0”, followed by a separate dining room of 15'10” x 13'0”, both benefiting from large windows that flood the spaces with natural light, characterful gas fires providing cosy focal points, and those wonderfully high ceilings synonymous with homes of this period. The kitchen leads through to a good-sized breakfast room, perfect for relaxed family dining, and while functional in its current form, offers exciting scope for a buyer to update and add their own personal touches. A convenient ground floor WC completes this level.

Rising through the home, the first floor presents two impressive double bedrooms, each exceeding four metres by three metres, along with a generous family bathroom, separate WC and useful utility room. A particular highlight is the charming front balcony, offering delightful views across the town and the beautiful North Kent Downs beyond. The second floor continues to impress with a further two double bedrooms, with two of the four bedrooms benefiting from built-in wardrobes.

Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately forty feet, predominantly laid to patio areas, perfect for al fresco entertaining. On-street permit parking is available to both the front and rear of the property, providing flexibility for households with multiple vehicles.

The Cheriton location is simply unbeatable for families and commuters alike. For those travelling to London, the rear gate from the garden opens directly onto Station Road, placing Folkestone West Station and its high-speed services to London St Pancras in just 53 minutes quite literally on your doorstep, while the M20 motorway and Channel Tunnel terminal are equally accessible for those working in Europe or travelling by car. The vibrant Cheriton High Street is moments away, offering an excellent array of independent shops, cafés, takeaways and essential services for everyday needs, while Folkestone town centre with its creative quarter, harbour arm restaurants and thriving arts scene is just a short journey distant. The stunning Folkestone seafront and Leas promenade provide wonderful opportunities for coastal walks, while the picturesque villages and walking trails of the North Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are right on your doorstep.
