Occupying a prominent position within one of Folkestone's most exciting and rapidly evolving neighbourhoods, this substantial freehold period building presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a sizeable property with immediate income, extensive accommodation and excellent long-term investment potential.


Situated on the increasingly fashionable Tontine Street, just moments from Folkestone Harbour, the Creative Quarter, Harbour Arm and Sunny Sands Beach, the property extends to approximately 3,082 sq.ft. (286.3 sq.m.) over five floors, offering buyers an exciting opportunity to create a truly unique residential investment within one of Kent's most sought-after coastal locations.


The property already benefits from an established income of £10,000 per annum, providing an immediate return whilst allowing the next owner to consider the many possibilities available throughout the remainder of the building.


Whether you're looking to create an impressive coastal home, convert the accommodation into luxury apartments (subject to the necessary consents), establish serviced accommodation or expand an existing property portfolio, opportunities offering this level of flexibility and scale are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
