Description

This former school site, spanning approximately 0.91 hectares (2.25 acres), offers promising potential for redevelopment in a growing area of Folkestone. Previously serving as the Highview school, the property has been vacated following the establishment of modern educational facilities nearby. This presents a unique opportunity for investors and developers to transform the site into a residential community, as full planning permission is already secured for 24 houses and six flats, including a provision for affordable housing. The proposed mix of properties ranges from one to four-bedroom units, catering to diverse housing needs. The strategic location benefits from excellent transport links, with Folkestone Central train station just under a mile away, offering access to London within an hour via HS1. Additionally, the site is surrounded by essential amenities such as primary schools and supermarkets, enhancing its appeal for future residents. Folkestone itself is undergoing significant regeneration efforts, with substantial funding allocated for revitalising the town centre and improving public spaces. These initiatives are designed to attract businesses and enhance community living conditions, further increasing the value of nearby developments. Given these factors, this property not only represents an exciting investment opportunity but also holds considerable renovation potential in a rapidly evolving market.
