House For Sale £260,000
Beautifully presented period cottage with tons of charm & character!
Miles & Barr are extremely pleased to be offering this beautifully presented cottage with the perfect balance of old and new! Ideally situated in the hamlet of Acol, just outside of Birchington, local schools, shops and all major amenities are within easy reach. Internally the property boasts a lounge with a modern fitted kitchen diner on the ground floor with two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom suite upstairs. There is also the added bonus of a fully usable basement which is current used as a cinema room/second sitting room. Externally there is a low maintenance garden with allocated off street parking just behind. In our opinion this property is full of period charm and character and the current owners have done extremely well in merging this with a completely modern twist. An early internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that is on offer!
The Hamlet of Acol, one of the smallest communities in Thanet, is conveniently situated within easy reach of Birchington; with its highly regarded schools, bustling high street and mainline train station as well as offering excellent road access to Canterbury and the M2 to London. Acol is steeped in history; close by is the famous chalk pit where Smuggler Bill met with a sticky end as told in the well-known poem ‘The Smuggler’s Leap’. This beautiful hamlet is surrounded by open fields where beyond you may hear music from the ‘Summer Proms’ at our local stately home, Quex Park, on a July summer evening. Not forgetting Quex Barn, a supplier of local produce such as locally farmed beef, seafood and a host of different cheeses which is also only a few minutes’ drive away. Acol boasts a variety of properties from unique period cottages to outstanding barn conversions as well as a selection of family homes and prestigious detached dwellings. It really is perfect if you’re looking for a rural retreat without feeling too isolated where local beaches, Westwood Cross shopping centre and the historic City of Canterbury are all still easily accessible. Not forgetting of course, the ferry ports of Ramsgate and Dover no more than 20-45 minutes’ drive away.
