A cleared, rectangular freehold plot with historic planning consent for a two-and-a-half storey building providing two one-bedroom flats and a studio. The site is accessed via Palmerston Street and sits close to Folkestone Central station, local shops and Radnor Park, offering straightforward connectivity and local amenities.
This is a practical development-led opportunity for an investor or small developer. Planning (Folkestone Borough Council ref Y07/0134/SH, granted 30 July 2007) covers part-basement and loft accommodation with dormer, but purchasers should allow for a planning status review and any necessary updates to drawings or approvals prior to works.
Material considerations: the plot is small, in a very deprived area with above-average crime, and it lies in a high flood-risk zone. These factors will affect finance, insurance and lettability and should be factored into feasibility appraisals. On the positive side, the site benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds, useful for modern tenants, and immediate proximity to good and outstanding local schools and transport links.
This holding suits a buyer comfortable with short-term planning checks, flood mitigation design and a local lettings market that may demand competitive pricing or targeted tenant profiles. With sympathetic investment, the approved scheme could deliver three compact, city-centre flats for sale or rent.
