For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Daryngton Avenue, Minnis Bay, Birchington, Kent Ct7 9ps£750,000

"I used to regularly visit Minnis Bay over many years and really love the place. So a few years ago I moved here and it has been a delightful home for me as well as for my dogs as I can take them for wonderful walks on the beach and along the seafront. I have thoroughly enjoyed updating the property to create a very modern but easy to manage family home but now want to move nearer to my children and grandchildren. One of the great things about this property is the private and peaceful location. The avenue is delightful with lovely detached family homes and  you can be on sitting on the beach in under a minute so the family can be swimming, sunbathing and building sandcastles all day in the summertime or going for a walk along the beach in the winter. 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 to 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 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 watersports 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 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 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."
