For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in Daryngton Avenue, Minnis Bay, Birchington, Kent Ct7 9ps£800,000

This house has been our family home since 1987 and it is a very special place. We were delighted to have the opportunity to modernise much of it a couple of years ago but now feel that it is time to downsize. However we are still staying in Birchington as we are very much part of the friendly local community and have always loved the village and particularly Minnis Bay where we can take the dogs for wonderful walks. Because it is a private road it is very quiet and peaceful as well as being safe for children and pets and the kids can easily walk to the beach. There is the Minnis Bay Brasserie and the dog friendly Waves café where you can stop for a drink, a parade of shops nearby for basic requirements and the village of Birchington offers everything you could wish for from a mainline train station with high speed trains that can whisk you to St Pancras in just over an hour and a half, to individual shops and supermarkets as well as hairdressers, nail bars, vets and a medical centre. There are some excellent restaurants and pubs nearby as well as Quex Park with its and leisure activity areas, craft shops and a livery stables while Quex Barn offers wonderful food shopping in its farm shop and an enjoyable eating experience in the restaurant. The local Birchington primary is a good school and there is also King Ethelbert secondary school and the Ursuline College available in Birchington and Westgate while grammar and private schools can be found in nearby Broadstairs and Ramsgate. As well as the sailing club and other water sports such as wind surfing in Minnis Bay there is also the Westgate and Birchington Golf Club for golfing enthusiasts and a local tennis and bowls club. If you enjoy walking there are a number of excellent places for a bracing walk in addition to the beach and cyclists can take a trip to Reculver along the Viking Coastal Trail. There is also a very good and inexpensive cinema in Westgate, theatres in Ramsgate and Broadstairs and if you want to go further afield Westwood Cross includes a large shopping centre with a variety of high street stores, a retail park and the Vue cinema complex as well as a casino and numerous restaurants.
