Family friendly home
Family living
Family fun beside the beach.
Shoreline Folkestone has beach houses situated directly on the seafront. These exceptional homes offer the rare luxury of stepping out of your front door, straight onto the beach. A day by the seaside becomes an everyday option at Shoreline.
They are the family home.
family homes
Shoreline Folkestone’s homes are designed for families. These two to four bed properties are spread over different floors, allowing for multi-generational living. Whether you are looking for separate children’s bedrooms, additional storage, a playroom, a home gym or a study room, these large homes provide the flexibility to meet your family’s needs.
Each four bed beach house has secure rear terrace leading onto the private communal gardens with play equipment for young children. There is roof terrace access as well, for family time spent outside in the fresh air, in a safe environment.
The beach houses also include private covered parking for two cars, complete with EV charging and convenient rear access to your property.
outdoor family activities
Living at Shoreline means the great outdoors isn't a destination; it is your front garden. The pebbled shores offer an expansive natural playground where every day holds the anticipation for adventure. From morning rock-pooling and wild swimming to cycling along the promenade as the sun sets, this lifestyle encourages a healthy, active upbringing rooted in the beauty of the natural world.
For the more adventurous, the various sports hubs along the coast provide world-class facilities for skating, climbing, and paddleboarding. There is lots to discover; exploring hidden coves, walking the rugged cliffs, or simply enjoying a family picnic in the amphitheatre of the Lower Leas Coastal Park.
The immediate proximity to the beach and landscaped gardens ensures that children have a variety of play areas close to home, and parents and grandparents can relax and enjoy living at Shoreline.
local schools
Folkestone is highly regarded for its excellent state education, anchored by two of Kent’s top-performing selective grammar schools. Both The Harvey Grammar School for Boys and The Folkestone School for Girls boast outstanding academic reputations, nurturing high aspirations and consistently delivering top-tier educational outcomes within a deeply supportive community framework.
There are many good primary school options, some within walking distance of Shoreline itself.
For those exploring the independent route, Shoreline’s prime coastal location provides access to some of the region’s most prestigious private institutions such as The Kings School in Canterbury, Dover College and The Ashford School in Ashford, Kent.
