Folkestone estate agents Your Key Move are delighted to bring to market this amazing opportunity situated right on the beach along the beautiful coastline of Sandgate. Rarely available chance to purchase this wonderful High Street building in Sandgate - combined together here we have a lovely two floored, two bedroomed basement Apartment; a shop premises currently offering a very popular Cafe; and also a large three bedroom apartment with direct and glorious sea views. The Cafe is currently occupied and with an ongoing lease currently £685 pcm, rising in line with CPI on each anniversary, on the 10 September (to note there are several break clauses in the new five year lease agreement which runs from 2025 to 2030). It's a very popular venue ideally situated on the High Street and it's the intention for this to continue to operate for the new building's owner. So what exactly do we have on offer here. Well we have a four storey terraced freehold building situated on the busy Sandgate High Street. At the front (on the street side) you have the commercial shop unit (floor plan attached). There is a front door on the left hand side which leads you into the main hallway. At the end you have a door on your right and stairs leading up to another door which leads to the 1st floor & 2nd floors Inside the ground floor door off the main hallway you have a large double bedroom, a modern and beautifully equipped family bathroom featuring the most amazing natural exposed brickwork, and a door which takes you down to the lower ground floor. The bedroom on this level has two sides to it with an entrance to the rear beachside of the property through a porch style entrance. Due to its size and layout there is potential to divide this room making two bedrooms if desired. Heading downstairs you have a very modern and open plan style living space. This room is stunning and very well decorated being both light, bright and spacious. With a perfect lounge area, dining space, modern fully equiped kitchen area with island style unit providing a breakfast bar seating area space, this room has it all. At the far end there is a large opening which leads into very spacious bedroom. Off this you have a modern en-suit shower room, again with that wonderful natural exposed brick work featuring at the far end. Lastly there is a door leading out to the beachside of the property. Moving up to the 1st floor from the main hallway you have an amazing open plan kitchen/dining room living space taking full prominence straight away. With huge double aspect patio glass doors taking you out on the glass fronted balcony, you will be in awe of the views straight out over the beach to the blue sea. This is one room you definitely will have a lot of time for. The kitchen area is beautiful and has that same lovely natural exposed brick work we have become accustomed to seeing in this building giving the perfect backdrop. With high end appliances, ample built in storage cupboards and high end bespoke worktops, this kitchen will certainly not disappoint. There is also a handy wooden panelled toilet off the living space between the patio doors. Leading off this room (before we head upstairs), there is a very well proportioned lounge with an ornate fireplace setting along with a generous sized double bedroom to complete the level. We must also not forget another modern family bathroom with (yes you guessed it) more of that wonderful natural exposed brick work to compliment the high gloss units and fabulous dark green tiling on offer. Finally we come to the top floor which has another of those modern family bathrooms we have come to expect in this building and two very sizeable double bedrooms featuring lots of hidden storage spaces.
