Two bedroom retirement cottage within A quiet development in the heart of birchington!
Miles & Barr are delighted to present this rarely available two bedroom retirement cottage, situated within the sought-after Bierce Court development in the very heart of Birchington. Ideally positioned within close proximity to Birchington’s vibrant high street and mainline train station, the seafront and a wide range of local amenities are also conveniently close by.
The accommodation is well arranged and begins with a welcoming entrance hall, leading to a spacious 15ft lounge with a designated dining area, a fitted kitchen, and a ground floor shower room with WC. To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a walk in dressing area and fitted wardrobes, along with a further family bathroom.
Externally, the property enjoys a private, enclosed rear garden of manageable size, with direct access to a single garage that is included with the cottage.
Bierce Court is a well maintained retirement development comprising 49 purpose built apartments and 11 cottages, exclusively available to residents aged 60 and over. The development is set within attractive communal grounds and offers communal gardens, private parking, drying areas, and the benefit of an on site estate manager.
The property is offered with no onward chain, and keys are available for immediate viewings.

Location Summary:
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, second home purchasers and retired couples.
