If the idea of living in a seaside location appeals, but the cost of living on the coast doesn't, then The Mews, Sandgate could be the answer.

The Persimmon Homes South East's development - within walking distance of the high street in Sandgate - has been a success since its launch in 2010.

Designed in a crescent to blend harmoniously with the surrounding architecture, the three-bedroom townhouses have appealed to first-time buyers, young families and those looking to downsize without compromising on character or space.

The development, just outside Folkestone, is made up of 52 homes but there are just 11 remaining for sale.

Prices start from £177,500 for the Sullington design, which includes generous accommodation across three floors, off-road parking and an integral garage.
