SEASIDE SOPHISTICATION
Sandgate Pavilions, Kent’s Newest Coastal Development
KENT’S SEASIDE TOWNS ARE BACK IN FASHION. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS MUCH
HAS BEEN MADE OF WHITSTABLE’S VIBRANT FRESH OYSTER SCENE, OR THE LURE
OF BROADSTAIRS’S SANDY BEACHES, OR THE WAY MARGATE HAS BECOME A
HIPSTER PARODY OF ITSELF.
But with tens of millions of pounds of
investment being pumped into
Folkestone, it seems the town is
undergoing a major revival fuelled by
tourists and those seeking a better
work/life balance.
This Spring the long-awaited
completed Sandgate Pavilions
development will open its doors for
the first time to those looking to grab
a slice of luxury.
Cut into the Sandgate Hills, a mile
west of Folkestone, the development
boasts 36 stylish apartments that each
enjoy stunning panoramic views across
the English Channel.
Every apartment offers unrivalled
specification; high end, stylish fittings
from the communal areas through to
the apartments, and stunning
contemporary architecture designed
with elegance. The architectural focus
during design was outside space for
every apartment, with uncompromised
views.

With prices ranging from £795,000
to a cool £1.75m, the developers insist
only the finest materials have been
used to bring this meticulously
designed vista to life.
Like the rest of the Folkestone area,
Sandgate Pavilions are less than an
hour from Central London via the
High Speed network, a major draw
for those seeking a better work-life
balance away from the city.
Among those to have already
purchased off plan are professional
couples seeking London style but a
Kentish way of life.
Celebrities and sports stars are among
those to have already shown an interest
in Sandgate Pavilions, and have done
little to dampen the excitement in the
surrounding area.
At the start of the 20th Century
Folkestone was a thriving port and
holiday destination among royalty and
the British elite, and boasted a
reputation as a ‘model of gentility’.
However, with the
multi-million-pound
harbour regeneration,
the arrival of Michelin-
starred eateries and a
vibrant arts scene,
Folkestone and the
surrounding areas are
on the up.
CEO David Pownceby
quotes ‘This project is
something that I have
invested many years into. I wanted to ensure the design and high standard would
rival any London or international waterfront apartment. I am amazed by the
response from the industry, next year we hope the development will become
award winning having been entered into many of the industries finest awards.
Even as involved as I am, I am taken aback by the breath-taking views and the
finished product every time I visit.’
