Project: Folkestone Road
Folkestone Road, Dover
Housing Development Project
As part of their commitment to provide more affordable housing across the district, our client Dover District Council (DDC) employed Martello Building Consultancy as Employer’s Agent and Karlee Construction Ltd whom provided a turn key, off the shelf development to construct eight self-contained flats on Folkestone Road in Dover.
Our team at Martello have worked with lots of public sector organisations across London and the South East over the years, but this was the first housing scheme that we had undertaken for Dover District Council.
The building, which has been called Ottaway House, is named after Dover-born sportsman, Cuthbert Ottaway who captained the England Football team against Scotland in 1872 in what is now recognised as the first international match to be played.

The design of the scheme provides spacious, functional, self-contained units with a shared outside space. The properties will be let on a short term basis at affordable rents and will provide interim housing for local people facing homelessness, while a more permanent solution to their housing needs can be found.
The scheme is part of an ambitious programme by DDC to build up to 500 new affordable homes across the district and we’re very pleased at Martello to have been selected to work on another project at Napchester Road in Whitfield which will deliver 26 new homes.
