Property Oracle says ..

This two-bedroom, one-bathroom ground floor flat in Westbourne Gardens, Folkestone, is listed at £170,000. The property’s location in Folkestone’s West End offers convenient access to the town centre, beach, and train stations. Nearby schools include Earlscliffe and the Harvey Grammar School, making it potentially attractive to families. The exterior of the building appears to be in reasonable condition for its age. The flat benefits from a low-maintenance front garden and shared rear courtyard, which does have a slightly unkempt appearance, with some paving needing repair. While the provided photos showcase a relatively small outdoor space, it adds a degree of outdoor living. Several nearby properties on Westbourne Gardens and nearby streets are also listed for sale for a range of prices, but without available sqft information making comparisons harder. This property may need some modernisation to increase the value. The lack of square footage for the property, and the nearby properties makes determining value for money challenging. However, at £170,000, the property’s price aligns with the average for similar properties in the local area making it a reasonable price. Overall, this property presents a reasonable purchase option for a buyer looking for a home in a convenient location, but careful consideration should be given to the required maintenance and renovations before purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
