Situated on a quiet spur off Hospital Hill, which rises from the coast toward the higher ground, this property enjoys a peaceful, private hillside position with stunning views across the channel. Helena Corniche lies between Folkestone and Hythe, just above the village of Sandgate, known for its mix of antique shops, boutiques, traditional pubs, and a flourishing cafe culture.

This location combines tranquillity, exceptional scenery, and superb accessibility, offering the perfect blend of coastal charm and practical convenience.
Property
The current owners have thoughtfully transformed this stunning marine home into a stylish and contemporary living space, blending comfort with modern design.
Deceptive from the exterior, the property features an arched porch leading to an inverted layout, with living areas on the upper level to maximise the panoramic views. A striking glass wraparound balcony at the rear offers an exceptional vantage point over the surroundings. Significant enhancements include a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and elegant worktops and dining area, luxury bathrooms, and upgraded double-glazed windows and doors.
The welcoming entrance hallway connects both levels, with a full-depth sitting room enjoying a dual aspect and a feature fireplace, flowing seamlessly via double doors into the kitchen and onto the balcony.
A useful cloakroom further compliments this level.
The lower floor houses a spacious, extended principal bedroom with added wardrobe facilities, ensuite wet room and garden access, along with two further double bedrooms, a versatile fifth bedroom with independent front access, a modern family bathroom, and a study/bedroom four. Additional features include an integral garage with utility space and a garden storage room. This home perfectly combines elegance, practicality, and stunning marine views.
Outside
To the front, the property offers off-road parking for two vehicles and access to a double garage, complete with an electric roller door and housing the gas central heating boiler. A sloping, landscaped garden leads to a resin pathway, wrapping around the front and side to a covered decked terrace. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn, beautifully maintained with a mix of mature shrubs, bushes, and seasonal planting, providing a degree of privacy. An archway and fencing lead to a small, sloping rear area, also meticulously cared for. Adding a striking contemporary touch, a glass-enclosed balcony on the upper level overlooks the garden, offering far-reaching views across the channel. This outdoor space combines elegance, functionality, and scenic appeal while enjoying the coastal panorama.
