Eversley Park is a quiet and peaceful gated cul-de-sac incorporating an enclave of some elegant and luxury houses, such as this delightful family home. It backs onto school playing fields and is only a short walk to Folkestone West station where the fast trains can whisk you to St. Pancras in 50 minutes. The property was built about 10 years ago and has an integral double garage and an off road parking area that leads to the front door.
The first thing you notice as you walk into the spacious entrance hall is how light and bright the property is with a plethora of windows providing plenty of natural light including a large window halfway up the stairs. The hall has lovely limestone style porcelain floor tiling with underfloor heating that flows through the ground floor and oak and glass French doors to the fabulous open plan family space with sash windows, skylights, French doors and two sets of bi-fold doors to the garden. There is a good sized dining area while the living area has a log burner as a focal point and is surrounded by the bi-fold doors on two sides. The large kitchen/diner was designed by Roma Interiors of Ashford and incorporates plenty of pale grey Shaker style units with quartz worktops. These house a pair of built in hide and slide ovens, an inset six ring gas hob, a bin cupboard, a full height integrated larder fridge and matching freezer and a sink with a Quooker hot and cold tap while the vast central island/breakfast bar that includes an integrated dishwasher. There is an adjacent fitted utility room with a double sink and laundry facilities as well as a modern cloakroom and the charming lounge that has a coved ceiling, a large bay window and a multi-fuel burner you can cosy up to on a cold winter’s evening.
Off the large galleried landing is a contemporary family bathroom with a very large and deep bath, a double shower and a vanity basin as well as four double bedrooms. These include a dual aspect fourth bedroom, currently in use as an office, another with fitted cupboards as well as the dual aspect first bedroom with wide windows overlooking the playing fields, a wall of fitted wardrobes and an en suite with a double shower and a double vanity basin. Accessed via a small corridor with fitted cupboards, the second bedroom is very charming with a partially vaulted ceiling and delightful views as far as the North Downs.
The south facing and easy to manage garden wraps around half of the house and is surrounded by solid wood fencing bordered by trees and shrubs.

I bought this house from new and was fortunate enough to be able to select my own kitchen, flooring and other fixtures and fittings that make it unique. It was the location that initially appealed to me as it was in a quiet, secure and safe environment with easy access to the station. It is also within walking distance of the girls’ and boys’ grammar schools that are both rated Outstanding by Ofsted as well as the good Sandgate Primary school. There are also two primary schools in the town that are rated Outstanding by Ofsted and excellent private schools in Ashford, Dover and Canterbury. We are not far from the M20 for easy access to London and Dover and only a few minutes from the Channel Tunnel for trips to the Continent.
Folkestone is a delightful seaside town with its plethora of restaurants, individual shops and businesses, including those in the Creative Quarter. There is also the famous Leas where you can walk along the vast green space at the top of the cliff, overlooking the sea across to France or stroll down to the beach and the award winning Lower Leas Coastal Park. There is also the rejuvenated Harbour Arm with its events, food stalls, champagne bar and artworks surrounding the harbour. For sporting enthusiasts there is the Folkestone Sports Club as well as the rugby, football, cricket, bowls and hockey clubs while golfing aficionados can play at the Henry Cotton designed Sene Valley or Etchinghill golf courses.
