About this property

Penthouse balcony apartment with panoramic sea views

Fantastic apartment with dramatic sea views across to France. Relax out on the recently updated balcony and enjoy the beautiful setting, or get out and about and explore this underrated and special location.

Please note that stays of a week / 7 nights or over are offered with a discount. For longer stays please ask for a quote.

Clifton Crescent is a Grade II classic Victorian stucco terrace that fronts on to The Leas, a magnificent promenade lining the edge of the cliff with multiple paths down to the beach, promenade and lower Leas coastal park, with children's playground almost directly below.

Accommodation is split over two floors with the master bedroom, lounge, kitchen/diner and bathrooms on one floor and two further bedrooms upstairs. Two of the three bedrooms have sea views. Two of the bedrooms have double beds and the third has two singles - that can be made into a double on special request. There is also a full size cot and a travel cot available for children.

The kitchen has loads of workspace, a gas fired oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and dining table that seats 6. Also included are a high chair and a booster seat for babies, in fact the flat has many extras for children. There is also a utility room with washing machine.

The property is within easy reach of the Leas Cliff Hall for shows, concerts, pantomimes etc. The immediate area is often used for activities such as mini marathons, Triennial art installations, bandstand performances, occasional classic car rallies and air shows.

The town centre is only a short walk away for everyday shopping. Head down to the old High Street / Creative Quarter with it's bars, cafes and art galleries to the harbour, harbour arm and the Stade. Then on to Sunny sands beach, and if you enjoy a good walk you can continue beyond the east cliffs to explore the wild area known as The Warren.

Further afield you could visit Dover for its impressive castle, and there are ferrys for a day trip to France (if you have a car you can embark the channel tunnel train in Folkestone itself). Round the coast visits to the pretty seaside towns of Deal and Sandwich are worthwhile. On the western side perhaps travel around the bay through Sandgate and Hythe and out to historic Rye, or take a ride with the Dymchurch & Hythe railway through the marshes.

Inland there is the beautiful Kent countryside to explore, and a visit to bustling Canterbury with it's major cathedral, ancient buildings and excellent shopping facilities is essential.

The location is well connected to visit London with the High Speed (HS1) train service. Kings Cross St Pancras taking less than one hour!

Please note that the property is situated on the 3rd and 4th floors, the stairs are wide and shallow stepped with several landings, but there is no lift available, so those with disabilities or difficulties climbing stairs should take this into account before booking.

Home Sweet Home
We stayed for 6 nights and were so very comfortable and relaxed. It felt like we lived there and got to see the comings and goings of the neighbours. The stairs.. yes there is a good amount of them but still worth it. Dont let that distract you from booking here. We would stay again and recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Mr Christopher Bagust

Host profile image
Brought up in Devon, south west England. Went to school in Canterbury (not far from Folkestone). Spent many years in London working in IT and audio solutions. Also I met my wife there, with whom I now live with in her native land, Spain. My mother's family were in the hotels and catering business and my great grandfather actually built a major hotel in London so maybe the will to host people has rubbed off on me!

Why they chose this property

The apartment was my Grandmother's and has been in the family for many years. As I live abroad and considering the amazing situation and outlook this place has I decided to let it to holidaymakers so others could enjoy it too. I have many good memories of staying there as a child and now my own children love it too!

What makes this property unique

Undoubtedly the view from the terrace is stunning. On a sunny day having breakfast out there with the Leas framing the view of the channel and France (on a clear day) in the background is a real treat. Locationwise the apartment is part of a classic English early Victorian crescent in the West End of Folkestone. It's also an easy walk into the centre of town and all the local amenities. Or you can just go straight down to the beach, visit the coastal park or stroll along the Leas instead. It's also very close to the Leas Cliff Hall if you have an event you want to attend there.
