Morning walks along the boardwalk, paddleboarding before work and evenings spent eating and drinking on the Harbour Arm, it’s easy to see the appeal of life by the sea. Now just 23% of apartments remain at Shoreline, as buyers embrace a new kind of coastal lifestyle in Folkestone.
Set directly on the beach and just moments from the Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter, Shoreline has become one of Kent’s most distinctive residential developments, bringing contemporary apartment living to a particularly vibrant stretch of the county’s coastline.
With just 23% of apartments now remaining, the development is entering its final phase of sales.
The apartments have been designed to make the most of that beachfront setting, combining open-plan living spaces and large windows with private balconies and spectacular sea views.
But Shoreline’s appeal is about much more than what happens inside the apartments.
A slice of Folkestone life
Developed by Folkestone Harbour & Seafront Development Co., which is overseeing the ambitious regeneration of the Harbour area, Shoreline is now home to a growing community making the most of everything coastal Folkestone has to offer.
Think morning walks along the adjoining boardwalk, cycling through the local countryside, paddleboarding before work and long evenings spent enjoying the Harbour Arm’s year-round entertainment programme, restaurants and independent businesses.
It’s that combination of seaside living and a thriving independent scene that makes this corner of Folkestone particularly interesting.
Residents also have easy access to London by high-speed rail, proximity to the motorway, dedicated cycle routes and co-working community spaces, alongside Folkestone’s independent cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions. It’s a combination that has made Shoreline attractive to commuters and remote workers as well as those looking to make a permanent move to the coast.
Folkestone’s Magic
The town that continues to go from strength to strength.
This summer, thousands of visitors have headed to the town’s Harbour and Creative Quarter, while Folkestone has hosted a record-breaking ‘Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever’ and is preparing to celebrate the renowned Folkestone Book Festival.
The internationally acclaimed Folkestone Triennial has transformed the town with remarkable public artworks, while F51 Skatepark and Climbing Centre and Three Hills Sports Park continue to build Folkestone’s reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting places to enjoy an active lifestyle.
A spokesperson for Folkestone Harbour & Seafront Development Co. said:
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see Shoreline becoming a thriving community. We are welcoming buyers from across the South East, but what is particularly encouraging is the number of people from Folkestone and the surrounding area who have chosen to make Shoreline their home. They are recognising the opportunity to enjoy contemporary coastal living while remaining part of the town they know and love.
“With just 23% of apartments now remaining, we’re entering the final phase of apartment sales. It’s an exciting milestone that reflects the confidence people have in both Shoreline and Folkestone’s future.”
Final apartments remaining
Sales at Shoreline are managed by local independent estate agent Laing Bennett, whose team has supported the development since 2024 before taking over full responsibility for sales in January 2026.
Bill Laing-Bennett, Co-founder and Sales Director of Laing Bennett, said:
“We are proud to be helping people find a home at Shoreline. The response has been extremely positive; from local visitors to our sales suite and buyers to our new show home – it’s clear the combination of exceptional design, a unique seafront location and Folkestone’s continuing renaissance is resonating with people looking for something special.
“While the wider property market has faced its challenges, high-quality developments in outstanding locations continue to perform well. With one-bedroom apartments available from £375,000 and two-bedroom apartments from £495,000, Shoreline offers a compelling opportunity for buyers looking for a high-quality home in a truly unique beachfront location.”
With the Harbour Arm, restaurants, independent businesses and Creative Quarter on the doorstep – and the sea quite literally out front – Shoreline offers a window into the lifestyle that has helped put Folkestone firmly on the map as one of Kent’s most exciting coastal towns.
