Location
Located in the affluent village of Sandgate known colloquially as the Kent Riviera, it is well known for its colourful houses, golden beaches and seafront bars.
The site is located on Sunnyside Road on the hillside overlooking the English Channel. Sandgate village centre is approximately half a mile to the east and the seafront and beach at the bottom of the hill under 300 metres away.
Sandgate provides a range of local shops, bar, restaurants and other services. Further independent retailers and a large Waitrose supermarket, can be found in Hythe around two miles to the west.
Folkestone West railway station is around one mile to the north west where high speed services to London St Pancras International are available with an average journey time of approximately one hour. Junction 12 of the M20 motorway is around two miles to the north and the M25 is around 50 miles to the west.
Site Description
The site extends to approximately 0.44 ha (c. 1.08 acres) and rises from Sunnyside Road to a plateau which then rises again to the rear. The site comprises the property ‘Hillbroro’ and it’s large garden to the south and the west as well as a tennis court that was formerly part of the neighbouring property ‘Wellington’. All the existing structures on the site will need to be demolished to make way for the new development.
The site is bounded to the east and west by neighbouring properties. To the south is Sunnyside Road which is privately owned and beyond the property ‘Channel View’ only serves the development site and the property ‘Wellington’. To the north the property abuts the highway at The Corniche, making it possible to potentially crane materials onto the site during the build phase.
