We love the quiet and peaceful surroundings, but it is only nine minutes' drive to Westwood Cross or even less to Birchington village centre. There are wonderful places to go for walks and the additional land we purchased is ideal for anyone who wants space for a pony or who would like to build a tennis court or swimming pool.Birchington 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.Room sizes:PorchHallCloakroomStudy: 11'8 x 9'9 (3.56m x 2.97m)Sunroom: 20'7 x 9'9 (6.28m x 2.97m)Drawing Room: 22'7 x 21'0 (6.89m x 6.41m)Dining Room: 19'4 into bay (5.90m) narrowing to 16'0 (4.88m) x 14'3 (4.35m)Kitchen/Breakfast Room: 19'5 x 11'9 (5.92m x 3.58m)Utility Room: 11'9 x 8'6 (3.58m x 2.59m)Rear LobbyFamily Room: 22'2 x 12'8 (6.76m x 3.86m)SPLIT LEVEL FIRST FLOORGalleried LandingMain Bedroom: 17'6 x 14'5 (5.34m x 4.40m)En Suite Bath/Shower Room: 11'1 x 10'5 (3.38m x 3.18m)Balcony: 32'5 x 9'9 (9.89m x 2.97m)Bedroom 3: 12'3 x 11'0 (3.74m x 3.36m)Bedroom 4: 12'2 x 11'1 (3.71m x 3.38m)Bedroom 2: 16'5 maximum x 11'9 (5.01m x 3.58m)En Suite Shower RoomBathroom: 10'7 (3.23m) narrowing to 9'2 (2.80m) x 10'6 (3.20m)Store Room: 18'0 x 11'8 (5.49m x 3.56m)OUTSIDERear GardenFront GardenDrivewaySingle Garage: 6'5 x 5'5 (1.96m x 1.65m)Double Garage: 22'2 x 18'0 (6.76m x 5.49m) The information provided about this property does not constitute or form part of an offer or contract, nor may be it be regarded as representations.
