Folkestone on Kent’s coastline is a port town overlooking the English Channel. Historically, it has been an important fishing and ferry port and spa resort. The seafront was characterised by boats and railways, amusement piers, bathing establishments, roller coasters, mini golf and nightclubs until the ferry port and harbour station closed, and the area fell out of use over the last 25 years. The redevelopment of the Folkestone Harbour and Seafront creates a new waterfront environment.

Folkestone E will be the final plot to be developed within the Folkestone Seafront residential masterplan. Comprising different apartments types and townhouses, Folkestone E is located south of Marine Parade, opposite the Grand Burstin Hotel and Pavilion Court and bordered by the beach boardwalk on the southern edge.

Contemporary in style, all apartments relate to their unique locality, with generous balconies leading from the living space and the master bedrooms. The ground floor and podium-level apartments have private terraces, whilst the townhouses have front south gardens and podium-level rear gardens facing onto the central communal podium garden. The exterior palette hue is in tone with the overarching Seafront masterplan.
