This two-bedroom apartment located at The Durlocks, Folkestone, is presented for sale via auction, with a starting bid price of £130,000. The property is situated in a desirable location near Folkestone Harbour, offering proximity to amenities and transportation links, including Folkestone Central train station at approximately 2.10 KM. A nearby primary school, Folkestone, St Peter’s Church of England Primary School, has received a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating.

The apartment is part of a larger building, with access to well-maintained communal gardens offering scenic views. The images reveal a property that appears functional but would benefit from some degree of modernisation, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas, where fixtures and fittings appear dated. The size of the property is given as 780 sqft, but details such as precise layout, any private balconies or parking, are not provided.

The auction format introduces an element of risk and uncertainty regarding the final sale price. However, comparing the listing price to other properties in the area (bear in mind sqft data is missing from several comparable listings), the starting bid could be considered competitive depending on the specifics of the apartment’s features and condition. A thorough viewing and professional survey are highly recommended before bidding.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
