The area around Folkestone.
Folkestone is a Kent coastal town with a harbour that has been transformed into an arts and leisure quarter, a creative quarter in the old town, and the Channel Tunnel terminal just outside. It has fast trains to London, attracting commuters and creative people. Housing ranges from grand Victorian villas on the Leas to terraces and post-war estates. A site that names areas like Sandgate, Cheriton and Hythe will reach the wider local market.

Elsewhere in Kent, Dover (6 miles), Deal (14 miles), Ashford (14 miles) and Canterbury (14 miles) are within reach. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
