Description

Fairlight View is a superb, newly furnished apartment resting on the beachfront in Sandgate.

Set over two floors, with amazing sea views, Fairlight View is a well-situated setting for discovering Kent, within easy reach of Folkestone and Dover.

You enter the apartment at the first-floor of the building, then climbing half a set of stairs, there is the first bathroom, before finishing the stairs to the lower floor of the apartment, where you will find a contemporary kitchen/diner, the perfect space to rustle up an evening meal to enjoy round the dining table, as you talk about your day by the coast.

Moving through to the sitting room, there is a large bay window with immaculate views out to sea where the lights of France can be seen in the evening.

A television is located next to a feature fireplace making for an ideal place to relax, there is also an adjoining bedroom with a quirky trundle bed that also doubles as a great reading spot to enjoy the sea views.

Climbing to the second floor of the apartment, you will find a storage room, a king-size room with more sea views and a further twin room which make for great places to escape to whilst you rejuvenate for another busy day.

There is also a spacious bathroom with a bath with shower head and a walk-in shower, so choose how to freshen up for the day ahead in your own style, whether that be a long soak in the bath or a shower.

Outside you can find unrestricted, roadside parking at the front of the property, on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Sandgate is a small village on the south coast, between Hythe and Folkestone, boasting a 16th century castle which is now a Grade I listed private residency, as well as shops, bars, eateries, many of which look out over the esplanade.

Sandgate has a fairly long stretch of beach, great for picnics, a barbecue with fresh seafood, walks and also for watersports enthusiasts to get their thrill of adventure.

A short drive, or a lovely walk along the beach, takes you into Folkestone which is home to a wonderful harbour, surrounded my bars and eateries.Slightly further, you can reach the historical town of Dover, which is home to the international ferry port, so if you fancy a quick trip to grab some cheese and wine, it can connect you to a glorious day out in France, in just under an hour.

Also in Dover, there is a unique 18th century triple spiral stair case known as The Grand Shaft, Dover Castle and medieval tunnels which now offer tours, museums and galleries, a bustling marina and pier, and an English Heritage Roman Lighthouse.

A short distance from Dover lies St. Margaret’s Bay where a coastal walk provides you breath-taking views of the white cliffs and the English Channel.

Take in the quint coastal village that was once home to Ian Flemming (James Bond creator) and Noel Coward, and enjoy a coffee at the lighthouse while watching the ferries arriving from the continent.

Also nearby Fairlight View is Port Lympne Nature Reserve, the Dymchurch miniature railway connecting Hythe with the surreal landscape of Dungeness and the Kent Down Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which makes for great walking and cycling adventures through some scenic trails.

103 Martello Towers were built in the 19th century as small defensive forts, and with 27 of them lining the coast of Kent, the place is full of history and you can still visit 16 which still remain, starting with five in Folkestone, four in Sandgate and following through Hythe and Dymchurch.

For a historical and action packed trip to Kent, choose Fairlight View as your beachfront base.

First impressions when entering the building were not great, as the public area is in a poor state.

However, the flat was clean, comfortable and furnished well. The sea view was beautiful. The combination of thick carpet and steep narrow steps on the stairs up to the top floor made them feel a little unsafe and need to be negotiated with care

We had a lovely relaximg stay with a beautiful view.

There was always a car park space close by. The description had prepared us for the outside of the building with the scaffolding and building facade. The main front door area initally gave a poor view on arrival, but once inside the flat it was quiet, clean, well cared for, lovely views and good facilities. We had a relaxing time due to the flat and location and would definetly book again. Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay.

It was a brilliant location for us with the pebble beach just across the road and an easy walk to a variety of places to eat and drink in Sandgate. It wasn't a busy beach but from the flat there was quite enough going on outside: people-watching the (friendly) pedestrians passing by and a bit of boat watching. We took great trips to Folkestone and Hythe and enjoyed the long train ride to Dungeness. The flat was spacious and comfy, but there are a lot of steps to take into account. The owner and the cleaner had to rescue us when we locked ourselves out on the first evening, but they couldn't have been kinder about it. All in all we had a fantastic week and could happily have stayed longer.
