The rear garden includes a rear terrace, a separate, triple aspect building with first floor storage facilities and a pergola covered decked patio as well as an attractive ‘music room' that is insulated, carpeted and has electrics and lighting. The rest of the rear garden is laid to lawn with shrubs, fruit trees and a pond with a little bridge.
What the Owner says:
We have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past nine years. However it is time for us to downsize and move nearer our children. It is very quiet and peaceful here and it is only a short stroll to the seafront, the bowls and tennis club.
Birchington centre is within easy walking distance. It has a mainline train station that can whisk you to London on the high speed rail in about an hour and a half, individual shops and supermarkets as well as hairdressers, nail bars, vets and a medical centre. There are good local schools, restaurants and pubs plus Quex Park with its museum and outside complex.
