Spacious five/six bedroom period home in the heart of minnis bay!
Miles & Barr are extremely pleased to be offering this well presented five/six bedroom semi-detached family home located within the heart of Minnis Bay. Thought to have been built in 1878 for a ship’s captain, this unique period home offers versatile and well planned accommodation arranged over three floors.
Once inside you are greeted by a grand entrance hall full of charm and character. From here there are stairs leading to the first floor and doors leading into a 15ft bay fronted lounge, a separate dining room with rounded turret windows to the rear, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with ample space for a table, a utility room to the rear and a downstairs WC. There is also the added bonus of a further room accessed via the dining room which could make an ideal home office/play room if required. There is also internal access into the garage.
The first floor boasts three good sized bedrooms, a contemporary fitted bathroom complete with corner bath and shower cubicle and a separate WC. The second and final floor holds two further bedrooms with the potential of a third which is currently being used as a dressing/storage room. There is also a well equipped shower room. The turret windows run throughout each floor offering westerly facing distant sea views towards Reculver Towers and making the most of our “Turner Sunsets”.
Externally there is a sunny aspect westerly facing rear garden which has been landscaped to be as low maintenance as possible. Wall and fence perimeters surround the property with rear access available and there is also a hot tub in place ready to be enjoyed. To the front there is access into a larger than average garage (22’7” in length) which is perfect for further storage and large enough for a car.
In our opinion, this property would make the perfect home for any growing family who are looking to relocate to be closer to the sea. There really is too much to mention and therefor an early internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that is on offer!

Location
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.
