The Fishmarket, Folkestone Harbour, Kent, CT19

This mixed-use commercial property arguably benefits from one of the highest levels of passing footfall in the town. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

An exciting opportunity to acquire a mixed-use freehold property in the heart of historic Folkestone Harbour offering a retail shop, independent garage to the rear, and a spacious maisonette arranged over the top two floors incorporating a large private balcony with exceptional views.

Positioned in a highly sought-after location with exceptionally high footfall, this property offers strong potential for substantial income generation and long-term investment growth.


Steeped in history, The Bethel has served a variety of purposes over the years, reflecting the rich heritage of the harbour area. The property is currently arranged over three floors, comprising:
• A ground floor commercial unit with an attractive shopfront onto Fish Market street
• A rear garage/workshop space with roller door access via Back Street
• A self-contained maisonette above, accessed via a separate front entrance
The upper floors form a spacious three-bedroom maisonette, featuring a large balcony with stunning, uninterrupted views across the harbour, towards the Burstin Hotel and extending to the French coastline on clear days. The maisonette has recently been operated as a successful holiday let.
The commercial unit has long operated as a well-known Shell Shop and will be offered with vacant possession from September, presenting an excellent opportunity for re-letting, redevelopment, or expansion of the commercial space to incorporate the garage.
