## Description

THREE BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED FAMILY HOME IN POPULAR CUL-DE-SAfarrar LOCATION!

Miles & Barr are delighted to present this beautifully maintained three-bedroom semi-detached family home, situated in the highly sought-after Brandon Way, Birchington.

Nestled within a peaceful cul-de-sac, the property enjoys an ideal location with Birchington’s vibrant high street, highly regarded local schools, and a full range of amenities all within easy reach.

Internally, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, a modern fitted kitchen, and a convenient WC.

Externally, the property boasts a stunning landscaped rear garden, thoughtfully planted with a variety of mature shrubs and plants. A versatile timber-built cabin provides additional space for a home office or hobby room. Further benefits include direct access to a single garage and ample off-street parking to the front and side.

In our opinion, this property represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a well-presented family home close to local amenities. Early internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that this home has to offer.

Identification Checks:

Should a purchaser(s) have an offer accepted on a property marketed by Miles & Barr, they will need to undertake an identification check. This is done to meet our obligation under Anti Money Laundering Regulations (AML) and is a legal requirement. We use a specialist third party service to verify your identity. The cost of these checks is £60 inc. VAT per purchase, which is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances.

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, and sailing enthusiasts can take advantage of the Minnis Bay Sailing Club, which offers activities for all levels (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.
