Undergound houses in Folkestone's West End for sale

Celebrities looking for total privacy might be among those tempted by four new properties on the market.

There would be no-one peeping over the garden fence and no-one sneaking a peek through the window. That's because the homes in Folkestone's West End are underground and and few would even know they were there.

The homes are for sale from £295,000 for the smallest unit to £320,000 for the largest.

Reporter Jane Barlow went along to take a look.

    Overground as well?

    I think your story is a little bit misleading. I am an architect and I believe there are parts of these properties, from the pictures, that actually appear to be overground.
    In my opinion I think it would be clearer to say 'part-underground' as the upper section of the structure is clearly visible and would not fit the technical definition of underground.
    Perhaps you could also accurately call them 'basement' properties.

    thanks
