1 bed flat for sale

Sandpiper Court, Shakespeare Road, Birchington CT7

Offered for sale with no forward chain - A spacious ground floor apartment in Sandpiper Court, set along Shakespeare Road in Birchington and offering well-proportioned accommodation of approximately 566 sq ft.

Nb - this property is being sold subject to a reservation agreement with a buyers fee of £600 incl. VAT - ask the agent for details.

The apartment has a bright and practical layout, with a generous living/ dining room forming the main heart of the home. This is a particularly good-sized space, measuring almost 20ft in length, with plenty of room for both seating and dining furniture. Sliding doors open out to a small veranda area, giving the room a pleasant outlook and a useful connection to the outside.

The kitchen is separate from the living space and is fitted with a range of units, integrated cooking appliances and space for laundry appliances. The bedroom is also a comfortable size, while the bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, wash basin and WC.

The building itself is a purpose-built block with communal areas, allocated parking in secure, covered parking area to the rear. The apartment is positioned on the ground floor, making it a practical option for buyers looking to avoid stairs while still having the benefit of a proper apartment layout rather than a compact studio-style space.

The property is offered with share of freehold and a long lease, making it an appealing option for buyers looking for a manageable home, a Thanet base, or a straightforward lock-up-and-leave property in a well-established Birchington setting.

Birchington has a relaxed coastal village feel with big skies and sunset walks along Minnis Bay. The promenade, sailing club and shallow waters make easy days of paddle boarding or family swims. Quex Park sits on the doorstep with the Powell-Cotton Museum, gardens, seasonal events and the farm shop at Quex Barn. The centre keeps things friendly with independents, cafés and pubs plus supermarkets for the weekly shop.

Schools include Birchington Primary and King Ethelbert. The Viking Coastal Trail runs past for traffic-free cycling to Reculver or Margate. Trains from Birchington-on-Sea station run to Margate, Ramsgate, Canterbury, London Victoria and Charing Cross with straightforward connections for HS1 to St Pancras at Margate or Ashford. Road links are simple via the A28 to Canterbury and the A299 Thanet Way to the M2. Regular buses connect to Margate, Westwood Cross and Canterbury. It suits buyers who want sea air, community and easy connections.
