Daryngton Avenue, Birchington, Kent

Located in a prestigious gated cul-de-sac with private walking access to the blue flag beach at Minnis Bay, is this delightful detached mid-20th century family home. Parts of the property were beautifully updated and refurbished about two years ago but there are still areas that new owners can develop to suit their own requirements.

The house is approached via a wide driveway leading to an integral double garage and a contemporary front door that opens into a spacious vestibule with an inner glass door into a large hallway. The large country style kitchen/breakfast room includes wood units housing stand-alone appliances and an adjacent utility room, while the beautifully updated, light and bright dual aspect L-shaped lounge and dining area is delightful. It includes a coved ceiling and five bi-fold doors to the rear terrace. There is a rear lobby and access to the garage that has built in shelving and automatic garage doors.

Upstairs there is a large linen cupboard, a contemporary family shower room and three double bedrooms including the spacious main bedroom with deep fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower and a guest room with built in cupboards.

The south facing rear garden is surrounded by close board fencing and includes a wraparound paved path as well as the terrace that borders a large lawn and a crazy paved patio with a charming rockery. This leads to a large garden shed and a semi-wild area home to hedgehogs.

What the Owner says:

This house has been our family home since 1987 and we were delighted to modernise much of it a couple of years ago but now need to downsize. However we are staying in Birchington as we are very much part of the local community and have always loved the village and particularly Minnis Bay. Because it we are on a private road it is very quiet and safe for children and pets while the kids can easily walk to the beach.
Nearby shops provide for basic requirements while Birchington includes a mainline train station, individual shops, supermarkets and a medical centre. There are excellent restaurants and pubs plus Quex Park with its museum, outside complex and farm shop/restaurant. Good local schools are available while grammar and private schools can be found in nearby Broadstairs and Ramsgate. There is a sailing club and other water sports including water-skiing and wind surfing in Minnis Bay as well as the Westgate and Birchington Golf Club and a tennis and bowls club.
