The asking price of £125,000 for a one-bedroom property in Folkestone needs careful consideration. While comparable properties on St. John’s Church Road are listed at similar or higher prices, the condition of this property is less than ideal. Considering the required renovations, the price could be considered slightly higher than average; but its reasonable for the market.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. While the structure seems sound, the interior decor is dated, and some cosmetic repairs are evident, including in the bathroom and kitchen. The overall condition isn’t poor, but it is below average and requires investment.

The property is situated on St. John’s Church Road in East Folkestone, which benefits from proximity to Folkestone Central station (0.62km), several well-regarded schools (Stella Maris, Christ Church Cep Academy, The Beacon, all within 0.63km), and is within reasonable distance of the town centre. This makes it an attractive location for commuters and families, boosting its score. However, it’s not in the most central, desirable area of Folkestone, hence the score isn’t a perfect 10.

The property includes a small, manageable garden which offers some outdoor space. However, it is not extensive and isn’t a significant feature of the property. Hence a middling score of 3.
