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. ## Property Photos - ![Picture 1](/listings/photos/166451003/1280249) - Picture 1 - ![Picture 2](/listings/photos/166451003/1280250) - Picture 2 - ![Picture 3](/listings/photos/166451003/1280251) - Picture 3 - ![Picture 4](/listings/photos/166451003/1280252) - Picture 4 - ![Picture 5](/listings/photos/166451003/1280253) - Picture 5 - ![Picture 6](/listings/photos/166451003/1280254) - Picture 6 - ![Picture 7](/listings/photos/166451003/1280255) - Picture 7 - ![Picture 8](/listings/photos/166451003/1280256) - Picture 8 - ![Picture 9](/listings/photos/166451003/1280257) - Picture 9 - ![Picture 10](/listings/photos/166451003/1280258) - Picture 10 - ![Picture 11](/listings/photos/166451003/1280259) - Picture 11 - ![Picture 12](/listings/photos/166451003/1280260) - Picture 12 - ![Picture 13](/listings/photos/166451003/1280261) - Picture 13 - ![Picture 14](/listings/photos/166451003/1280262) - Picture 14 - ![Picture 15](/listings/photos/166451003/1280263) - Picture 15 - ![Picture 16](/listings/photos/166451003/1280264) - Picture 16 - ![Picture 17](/listings/photos/166451003/1280265) - Picture 17 - ![Picture 18](/listings/photos/166451003/1280266) - Picture 18 - ![Picture 19](/listings/photos/166451003/1280267) - Picture 19 ## Floorplans - ![Picture 20](/listings/photos/166451003/1280268) - Picture 20 ## EPC Graphs - ![Picture 21](/listings/photos/166451003/1280269) - Picture 21 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
