OUTSTANDING TWO BEDROOM RETIREMENT COTTAGE IN A PEACEFUL CORNER POSITION WITH WRAP-AROUND GARDENS, CONSERVATORY, SOLAR PANELS & AIR SOURCE HEATING

Miles & Barr are delighted to present this exceptional two bedroom retirement cottage, tucked away in a private and peaceful corner of the popular Bierce Court development, just a short walk from Birchington village centre, mainline railway station and local bus routes.

One of the real standout features of this property is its position within the development. Occupying a generous corner plot, the cottage enjoys an unusually large wrap-around garden, maintained by Anchor Housing, creating a lovely outside space without the upkeep normally associated with a garden of this size.

Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and versatile. The ground floor comprises a downstairs WC, fitted kitchen, comfortable lounge, separate dining room and a fantastic conservatory overlooking the garden. The seller informed us the conservatory benefits from high-efficiency glass roof panels, making it a space that can be enjoyed throughout much of the year.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a shower room, with the principal bedroom also benefiting from its own dressing area. A Stannah stairlift is currently fitted and can remain for anyone who would find it useful, or can be removed if not required.

The cottage has also benefited from a number of energy-efficiency improvements, including solar panels and an air source heat pump, helping to make this an economical home to run.

For additional peace of mind, Bierce Court has an estate manager on site, while emergency pull cords within the main rooms connect to a 24/7 helpdesk.

The property is leasehold and also benefits from residents' parking together with a garage en bloc.

With its peaceful setting, exceptional garden space, energy-efficient improvements and generous accommodation, this really is a particularly impressive retirement cottage and one that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

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, second home purchasers and retired couples.
