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.<br/><br/>
