This charming detached family home is located in one of the more popular areas of Birchington. Wrought iron gates open onto a driveway bordered by a front lawn with trees and shrub beds that continues through a pair of white painted wood gates and leads past the rear garden and a swimming pool to a double garage and integral workshop.

The wood front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with an open tread staircase, a cloakroom, a delightful ceiling rose and parquet floor that flows through much of the ground floor. The kitchen/breakfast room includes a bay window, tiled flooring, a range cooker and shaker style units housing stand-alone appliances, a peninsular breakfast bar, space for a table and chairs and access to the utility room.

Multi-pane glazed doors open into the stunning lounge/diner with impressive wood panelling on three sides, a stone effect fireplace and built in glass fronted cabinets. The outer wall is virtually all windows looking into the fabulous conservatory that spans the width of the property. There is also access from the sitting/dining room and the hall into the delightful family room with feature brick walls that could always become an office for anyone working from home.

Off the first floor galleried landing there is a family bathroom and five double bedrooms including one with an en suite shower and built in cupboards, two with fitted wardrobes and the main bedroom with an en suite bathroom and fitted bedroom furniture. While on the second floor there is a large third bedroom.

Around the swimming pool is a terrace leading to a lawn with trees and shrub borders surrounded on one side by a high wall and on the other by close board fencing, providing privacy and security.

What the Owner says:
This family home is in a wonderful position as the road is a dead end so it is very safe for children and pets. We are close to the tennis courts, bowls club and seafront and within easy walking distance of Birchington station for the high speed train to London, while the village centre includes individual shops, a supermarket, hairdressers, nail bars, vets, a medical centre and excellent pubs/restaurants. There is a good primary school, two secondary schools with grammar and private schools in the nearby Thanet towns and Canterbury.
Sailing and wind surfing clubs are available in nearby Minnis Bay while the Westgate and Birchington Golf Club cater for golfing enthusiasts. There are a number of excellent places to go for walks while cyclists can enjoy the Viking Coastal Trail. There is also a cinema in Westgate, theatres in Ramsgate and Broadstairs and Westwood Cross includes a large shopping centre with a variety of high street stores, a retail park and the Vue cinema complex as well as a casino and numerous restaurants.
