The Metropole, Folkestone, Kent

Set within one of Folkestone’s most iconic and rarely available addresses, this exceptional three bedroom apartment in The Metropole offers an outstanding blend of grandeur, character and coastal living. Beautifully presented throughout, the home enjoys wonderfully generous proportions, elegant period detailing and an elevated position that captures breathtaking sea views across The Leas and beyond.

The heart of the home is the magnificent living and dining space, a truly impressive room designed for both entertaining and everyday living. With high ceilings, ornate cornicing, chandeliers, feature fireplace and an abundance of natural light, it is a room that immediately creates a sense of occasion. The outlook is equally special, with stunning views towards the coastline and direct access out towards the seafront-facing aspect, making it easy to imagine relaxed mornings with coffee or evenings soaking up the sea air.

The separate kitchen has been finished to a high standard and perfectly complements the character of the apartment.

It is a space that feels both practical and luxurious, with a finish that will appeal to anyone looking for something a little more refined.

All three bedrooms are well presented and offer flexibility depending on lifestyle, whether for family living, guests or those working from home. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying a calm and elegant feel. The additional bedrooms are equally characterful, with one currently lending itself perfectly as a home office or study whilst the secondary bedroom has the added benefit of its own en suite shower room. The main bathroom has been stylishly designed with an eye-catching finish that enhances the home’s sense of charm and individuality.

Living at The Metropole is about more than just the apartment itself; it is about enjoying one of Folkestone’s most desirable coastal settings. Positioned on The Leas, the property is moments from scenic walks, the beach, the Harbour Arm, the Creative Quarter and the town’s growing selection of independent cafés, bars and restaurants. Folkestone Central station is also within easy reach, making this an ideal home for those looking to balance seaside living with convenient connections.
