Description
This stylishly presented detached home is situated in the sought-after Upper Corniche, benefiting from panoramic south-facing elevated views over The English Channel. Much improved by the current owners, this very special family home provides a dream lifestyle in a wonderful location.
Developed in the 1980s, Upper Corniche is a small and exclusive cul-de-sac of individual detached houses, situated on the hillside above Sandgate and overlooking the English Channel and along the coastline towards Hythe. Sandgate village and seafront promenade are approximately one and a half miles away, whilst Folkestone town centre, fast train services and M20 connections for Ashford and London are approximately two miles distance.
In recent years this impressive home has undergone internal re-modernisation throughout and now also features an extended terrace and balcony. The lower floor terrace is accessed from both the kitchen and dining room providing an incredible space to enjoy alfresco dining and admire the spectacular view. The upper-floor balcony can be enjoyed directly from the master bedroom and from the luxury en-suite bathroom adding a real touch of class to this property.
Entering the property at the upper ground floor level the generous landing gives a real sense of what this home is all about. A teasing glimpse of the sea through an archway above the stairs lets you know that first appearances can be deceiving. Leading off the landing area is the four-piece family bathroom, two double bedrooms to the front, and two double bedrooms to the rear. Both bedrooms at the back have fitted wardrobes and private balconies with incredible sea views. The master bedroom boasts a beautiful five-piece en-suite, with a walk-in shower, his and hers sinks, and a gorgeous roll-top bath which has its own sea view.
Downstairs on the lower ground floor, the space and versatility of this incredible property really start to set in. All three living areas measure approximately 20ft in length and have access to the sun-soaked south-facing terrace. Plenty of room for all the family plus providing a magnificent space for entertaining.
Off the kitchen are a useful utility room and a potential sixth double bedroom which is currently used as a cinema/games room. You'll also find another double bedroom, currently an office, and a shower room.
As well as the large terrace and balconies there is a lawned garden area for children to play. On this lower garden level, there is access to a huge storage area under the property, an absolute must for a family household.
To the front is a block-paved driveway for two vehicles and an electric car charging point. The double garage provides further storage and has loft access.
The property is well located being within a few minutes by car of Sandgate High Street with its local shops, restaurants and public houses, and about 10 minutes by road from central Folkestone, with further amenities, and in a westerly direction a similar distance from Hythe town centre. For commuters Folkestone offers a High Speed rail link to London St. Pancras in 58 minutes from both Folkestone Central and Folkestone West stations. In addition access to the Continent is excellent via the Channel Tunnel Terminal at Cheriton and the ferries from the Port of Dover.
