Your Key Move is delighted to bring to market this substantial chain free four-bedroom period home, offering approximately 1,357 sq ft (126.1 sq m) of accommodation arranged across three floors and presenting an exciting opportunity for investors, developers or buyers looking for a genuine renovation project.

Let's be completely upfront from the outset - this property requires comprehensive refurbishment both internally and externally

However, for the right purchaser, that is precisely where the opportunity lies.

With four bedrooms, two separate reception rooms, a good-sized rear garden and over 1,350 sq ft of accommodation, there is an excellent amount of house here to work with. Rather than paying a premium for somebody else's renovation, this is an opportunity to take a substantial period property and completely transform it to your own specification.

The property is also empty and offered with no onward chain, making it particularly attractive to investors, developers and cash purchasers looking for a project they can get started on.

The ground floor...
The floorplan really demonstrates the scale of this property.

Entering on the ground floor, the traditional layout provides two separate reception rooms

To the front is the lounge, measuring approximately 14'0" x 11'8" (4.26m x 3.55m), with the bay window adding further character and natural light.

Behind is a separate dining room, itself a very useful 12'3" x 9'8" (3.74m x 2.95m)

Continue towards the rear and you reach the kitchen, measuring approximately 15'2" x 9'0" (4.63m x 2.73m)

For a purchaser undertaking a full renovation, the existing arrangement provides plenty of scope to consider how these spaces might be modernised and potentially reconfigured to suit contemporary living, subject to structural considerations and any necessary consents.

First floor...
The first floor provides two excellent double bedrooms together with the family bathroom.

One bedroom measures an impressive 15'2" x 14'0" (4.62m x 4.26m), while the second measures approximately 12'3" x 9'8" (3.74m x 2.95m)

The bathroom, approximately 8'11" x 8'1" (2.73m x 2.46m), is also generously proportioned and forms part of the overall refurbishment required.

Second floor...
Continue upstairs and the amount of accommodation becomes even more apparent.

The second floor provides two further bedrooms, making this a genuine four-bedroom home.

The largest is particularly impressive at approximately 14'9" x 14'7" (4.49m x 4.45m), while the fourth bedroom measures approximately 10'5" x 9'8" (3.16m x 2.95m)

There is also eaves storage, providing useful additional space.

For investors looking at the numbers, the combination of four bedrooms, two receptions and approximately 1,357 sq ftmakes this a particularly interesting proposition at the £235,000 - £245,000 guide price

outside...
To the rear is a good-sized garden, providing further scope for improvement and landscaping as part of the overall renovation.

There is another potentially interesting aspect here too.

A road runs behind the rear garden, and purchasers may therefore wish to investigate whether it could be possible to create vehicular access, off-road parking, a driveway and/or garage from the rear

This could potentially add another valuable dimension to the property once refurbished.

Any such alterations would, of course, be strictly subject to obtaining all necessary planning permission, highways approval, access rights and any other required consents, and prospective purchasers should undertake their own investigations before making any financial assumptions.

Parking in its present arrangement is on street

A serious project with serious potential...
This isn't a property for somebody looking to unpack their boxes and move straight in.

It is being marketed as exactly what it is: A substantial four-bedroom house requiring a comprehensive programme of refurbishment

But look beyond its present condition and there is an enormous amount to work with.

Approximately 1,357 sq ft, four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a substantial kitchen, good-sized bathroom, rear garden and potential to investigate rear vehicular access provide the foundations for what could become a very different home.

For a developer, experienced investor, builder or cash purchaser prepared to undertake the work, we believe this represents an increasingly difficult-to-find opportunity to acquire a sizeable period property at a price that reflects its present condition.

Whether the intention is to renovate and resell, retain as a long-term investment or create a substantial family home, there is considerable scope here for the right purchaser to add value.

Location...
Linden Crescent is an established residential road within Folkestone, conveniently positioned for the town's wide range of amenities.

Folkestone continues to attract buyers thanks to its combination of coastline, improving town centre, Creative Quarter and popular Harbour Arm, together with excellent transport connections.

The town benefits from high-speed rail services to London St Pancras, while the M20 and Channel Tunnel provide excellent road links.

Local shops, schools and everyday amenities are also readily accessible.

For anyone specifically searching for a chain free refurbishment opportunity in Folkestone, the amount of accommodation available here at Guide Price £235,000 - £245,000 makes this one we strongly recommend viewing.

Bring your imagination - because this is a property where the work required is significant, but so too is the potential.
