3 bed detached house for sale

Grenham Bay Avenue, Birchington, Kent CT7

Rarely available and superbly positioned on a sought after avenue in Birchington, this charming detached residence has been a much loved family home since 1987 and is now offered to the market with no forward chain. Properties of this nature - rich in carefully preserved character and original features are seldom available and early viewing is highly recommended.

Ideally located within easy reach of the scenic grassy cliff top walks leading down to the sandy beach at Minnis Bay, this delightful home perfectly balances coastal living with village convenience. Set back from the road behind a walled frontage, the property benefits from gated off street parking and an attractive approach to a secure entrance porch, complete with the original front door.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to an extended sitting room featuring patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful space for relaxation and entertaining. To the front of the property is a separate dining room, enhanced by an original serving hatch through to the kitchen - an authentic period feature rarely seen today. The kitchen itself is fully fitted and thoughtfully designed around a charming original dresser, further enhancing the home’s character. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a downstairs WC and access to the integral garage, which offers ample loft storage above.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, a spacious eaves storage cupboard, and a shower room with a separate WC, both retaining their original wall tiling. The property also benefits from double glazing and central heating throughout.

Externally, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs and flower beds, offering a peaceful and private outdoor space. The front garden is also predominantly laid to lawn and complements the off-street parking.

A truly special home that combines character, location, and opportunity. In our opinion this is a real gem and a must-see property for any serious purchaser.

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.
