For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Shakespeare Road, Birchington, Kent Ct7 9es£800,000

We have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past nine years. However we feel it is time for us to downsize and move nearer our children. It is very quiet and peaceful as the road doesn’t really go anywhere and it is only a short stroll to the seafront. We are very close to the bowls and tennis clubs and, if anyone is interesting in water skiing, the waterski club launch their boats at nearby Beresford Gap. Birchington village 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 some excellent restaurants and pubs in the vicinity plus Quex Park with its museum and outside complex that includes a garden centre, leisure activity areas, craft shops and a livery stables while Quex Barn offers excellent food shopping in its farm shop and a great 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 and water ski club there is wind surfing in Minnis Bay and the Westgate and Birchington Golf Club for golfing enthusiasts. If you enjoy walking there are a number of excellent places for a bracing stroll with the dog and for cyclists you can revel in a trip to Reculver along the Viking Coastal Trail. There is also a very good and inexpensive cinema in Westgate, theatres in Margate, 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.
