2 bed bungalow for sale

Edward Drive, Birchington, Kent CT7

Stunning two bedroom bungalow with A beautifully landscaped tropical paradise rear garden!

Miles & Barr are delighted to present this rarely available and beautifully refurbished two bedroom bungalow, occupying a generous plot with an exceptional landscaped rear garden that has been thoughtfully designed to showcase an impressive collection of over 100 palm trees from a wide variety of species.

Internally, the bungalow has been renovated to an excellent standard throughout and is presented in immaculate, move-in ready condition. The accommodation comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a spacious 14ft lounge with double glazed doors opening directly onto the rear garden, a stylish contemporary kitchen fitted with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, and a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring an elegant oval bath with shower over. The property further benefits from tasteful neutral décor, quality complementary flooring, brand new interior oak doors, modern radiators and a boiler installed approximately eight years ago, while both the kitchen and bathroom have been finished to a particularly high specification.

The true centrepiece of this home is undoubtedly its remarkable rear garden. Originally much smaller, the current owners acquired additional land to the rear, more than doubling its overall size to create an extraordinary outdoor space unlike anything else locally. A striking black limestone patio spans the rear of the property, providing access to both the garage (which is due to benefit from the installation of an electric roller door with a 5 year warranty) and the front of the bungalow. Beyond this lies an expansive lawn complemented by a further raised seating terrace finished with matching paving.

The landscaped planting areas are a real testament to the time, care and investment that has gone into creating this unique garden. Constructed using over 500 timber sleepers, carefully arranged across multiple levels and finished in a contemporary black, the raised beds are beautifully contrasted by decorative white stone and filled with an extensive collection of mature and rare palm trees, exotic plants and architectural planting. A substantial timber built cabin with glazed elevations is positioned to one side of the garden and has been utilised as a nursery, complete with raised planters and an irrigation system for cultivating and nurturing the palms. Naturally with the space it offers, it can be repurposed for a number of different uses from a home work space, to a gym or games room. To the rear, a further paved area incorporates a greenhouse, while the entire garden enjoys a high degree of privacy, enclosed by fencing and mature planting.

The front of the property has been designed to complement the rear, featuring matching sleeper borders, decorative white stone and a variety of established palms, creating an impressive first impression. There is also secure gated side access, a garage and ample off street parking for several vehicles.

Homes offering such a distinctive combination of beautifully presented accommodation and truly exceptional outdoor space are incredibly rare to the market. Whether you are a keen gardener, an enthusiast of exotic planting, or simply searching for a home with outstanding outside space, this unique bungalow is certain to impress. Being offered with no onward chain, an early internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this remarkable home has to offer.

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.
