Epple Road, Birchington, CT7

BEAUTIFULLY REFURBISHED PERIOD COTTAGE LESS THAN 400 YARDS TO THE SEAFRONT - The seller has informed us that he is open to offers and has no forward chain as he is moving abroad so is looking for a straight forward sale.

Miles & Barr are extremely pleased to be offering this beautifully presented period cottage which has undergone complete refurbishment over the past 16 months. Ideally situated within 400 yards of the picturesque Epple Bay, Birchington’s main high street, train station and all other major amenities (including sought after local schools) are also close at hand.

The property itself is thought to be within a row of some of the oldest houses within the road and as such, the current owner has been extremely sympathetic with all works which have been carried out. The non overlooked garden was completely redesigned in 2022 and now includes a versatile layout that includes a split-level area. The owner has also added a new contemporary bathroom & kitchen, as well as a complete redecoration of the whole interior of the house & summer house too. In 2024 the owner carried out further works to fully convert the lower level to a living room & has also now gained a dining room too.

Offering versatile living accommodation arranged over four floors, the property boasts a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a contemporary shower room and a dining room on the ground floor with access down to a recently refurbished lounge situated on the lower level. The first floor boasts one double bedroom with stairs leading up to another double bedroom on the second floor with dual aspect period feature windows looking both to the front and over the garden to the rear. Both bedrooms have been sympathetically decorated to complement the age of the property.

Once outside you experience a completely different feeling, originally a very plain garden, the current owner has gone all out and designed and started the garden from scratch and completely landscaped it with easy maintenance in mind. There are various paved seating areas with overhead lighting and surrounding lighting throughout the garden. There is also electrics added for a hot tub to be installed. In addition to this, there is a spacious cabin/lodge with lighting, power and hard-wired Wi-Fi access. This too could hold a multitude of different uses. From use as a home office to a secondary sleeping area and lounge. There is also a further storage shed and summerhouse.

In our opinion this property could suit a variety of different buyers. From those looking for a second home by the sea, to any buyer wanting a property they can move straight into. There really is too much to mention in this deceptive residence and therefore an internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that is on offer!

Location Summary:

Birchington was once considered ‘the epitome of modest’. That statement may still be considered. Understated opulence: a wealth of late Victorian and Edwardian properties stand alongside flint or cliff-top cottages - Birchington really does have something for everyone. An array of bakers, an ice cream parlour and vintage shops make Birchington the perfect village location to base yourself if you still need to commute to the City. Located just minutes from the A299 with a journey of approximately 75 minutes to the O2 Arena and Greenwich. Of course if you’d like a stress-free journey then just take the train from Birchington straight through to London Victoria. Travel in the other direction and just three stops along you’ll be able to enjoy the seaside towns of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. There are a number of schools within the village from nursery through to Secondary education and a doctor’s surgery. Those who enjoy sport will find a magnificent 18-hole golf club, windsurfing along Minnis Bay, (not forgetting the atmospheric Minnis Bar & Restaurant) endless miles of promenade for serious runners, gentle beach-top walks or just follow the Viking Trail bike rides. A popular residential area for young families, London commuters and second home purchasers.
