A Landmark Mixed-Use Investment in the Heart of Folkestone's Regeneration Zone

Situated within one of Folkestone's most vibrant and rapidly evolving locations, Tontine Street presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold mixed-use building offering immediate rental income, outstanding development potential and long-term investment appeal.

Occupying a prominent position on the highly regarded Tontine Street, just moments from Folkestone Harbour, the Creative Quarter, Harbour Arm, beaches and High Speed rail links to London, this impressive period building extends to approximately 3,082 sq.ft. (286.3 sq.m.) over five floors and provides an exciting opportunity for investors, developers and owner-occupiers alike.

The commercial premises at ground floor level are already successfully let to an established independent business, generating £10,000 per annum, providing an immediate income stream from day one whilst leaving the extensive upper floors available for a wide variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Whether your ambition is to create a spectacular coastal residence, multiple luxury apartments, serviced accommodation, holiday lets, live/work accommodation or simply maximise the existing mixed-use configuration, opportunities of this scale and flexibility rarely become available within such a sought-after location.

Commercial Investment with Secure Income

The ground floor retail premises enjoys an excellent frontage onto bustling Tontine Street and is occupied by a successful independent business under a lease producing £10,000 per annum, offering purchasers an immediate return whilst plans are considered for the remainder of the building.

This income-producing commercial element provides an excellent foundation for investors seeking both yield today and significant capital growth potential in the future.

Exceptional Residential Accommodation Above

Accessed independently from the commercial premises, the upper floors currently provide extensive residential accommodation extending across four levels.

The accommodation includes generous reception rooms, kitchen facilities, numerous bedrooms and bathrooms together with an impressive top floor offering outstanding proportions and flexibility.

The existing layout lends itself to numerous possibilities including:

• Creation of luxury duplex apartments
• Multiple self-contained apartments (subject to consent)
• Holiday accommodation
• Large executive residence above commercial premises
• Live/work environment
• Multi-generational accommodation
• High-end serviced apartments
• Investment portfolio expansion

The versatility of the internal accommodation is one of the property's greatest strengths and allows purchasers to tailor the building to suit their own investment strategy.

Outstanding Development Potential

With accommodation spread across approximately 3,082 sq.ft., this substantial period building represents one of the larger mixed-use opportunities currently available within central Folkestone.

Subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions and building regulation approvals, purchasers may wish to explore opportunities including:

• Conversion into several apartments
• Enhancement of the existing residential accommodation
• Reconfiguration to maximise rental yields
• Premium short-term holiday accommodation
• Mixed commercial and residential redevelopment

The combination of existing income together with future development potential creates an increasingly rare opportunity within this thriving coastal town.
