A Stannah stairlift is currently fitted and can remain for anyone who would find it useful, or can be removed if not required.<br/><br/>The cottage has also benefited from a number of energy-efficiency improvements, including solar panels and an air source heat pump, helping to make this an economical home to run.<br/><br/>For additional peace of mind, Bierce Court has an estate manager on site, while emergency pull cords within the main rooms connect to a 24/7 helpdesk.<br/><br/>The property is leasehold and also benefits from residents' parking together with a garage en bloc.<br/><br/>With its peaceful setting, exceptional garden space, energy-efficient improvements and generous accommodation, this really is a particularly impressive retirement cottage and one that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.<br/><br/>Call Miles & Barr today to arrange your viewing.<br/><br/>EPC Rating: B<br/><br/>Material Information<br/><br/>Construction Type/Materials: Brick and Block With Concrete Roof Tiles.<br/><br/>Broadband Coverage: To check broadband and mobile phone coverage please visit Ofcom here: <br/> Identification Checks:<br/><br/>If an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Miles & Barr, all purchasers are required to complete ID verification checks.

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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>There are a number of schools within the village from nursery through to Secondary education and a doctor’s surgery. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>A popular residential area for young families, London commuters, second home purchasers and retired couples.<br/><br/>
