Land at Wear Bay Crescent is the remaining single vacant plot with full planning to erect a stylish family home over three floors.

Externally there is parking to the front and a large rear garden.
Full plans of the approved design, along with the decision notice are available on request.
Location Summary
Awarded Best Place to Live in The South East by The Times 2024; This coastal town is the very model of modern regeneration for shipshape and stylish living. Folkestone has seen much regeneration over the past few years, with much more planned going forward, especially surrounding the town centre and Harbour. Folkestone has a large array of shops, boutiques and restaurants as well as many hotels and tourist attractions. Folkestone is fortunate to have two High Speed Rail links to London, both offering a London commute in under an hour. There are great transport links to surrounding towns and cities and easy access to the continent too. With so much going on and with the future bright, Folkestone is an excellent location to both live and invest in.
Access
The site is vacant but is secured and access is available through the local brank of Miles & Barr.
