Edward Drive, Birchington – Guide Price £375,000–£425,000

Setting the Scene
Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac, this detached home on Edward Drive offers far more than meets the eye. Originally a bungalow, the property has already undergone significant transformation with a thoughtful loft conversion, creating two additional bedrooms upstairs — one with its own balcony and an en-suite. While the works remain unfinished, the vision is clear, and the opportunity is rare: to complete a bespoke home in one of Birchington’s most sought-after settings.

Take a Look Inside
The ground floor provides immediate comfort and versatility. A welcoming snug at the front, a main sitting room, and a conservatory offer multiple living spaces, complemented by a well-proportioned kitchen, separate utility, and a ground-floor bedroom with bathroom.

Upstairs, the newly created accommodation is ready for finishing touches. Two double bedrooms have been formed, the principal complete with balcony access and an en-suite. New Velux windows, a fresh staircase, and replacement glazing are already in place; flooring, insulation, tiling, and final decorative works remain to be completed. Importantly, all sanitaryware and materials are included and on site, leaving the incoming buyer free to finish the property to their own style.

The Outside Story
The plot is exceptional. Extending to approximately 0.2 acres, the rear garden stretches far beyond the typical Birchington garden, offering outstanding scope for family life, entertaining, or even future landscaping projects. To the front, the generous driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles, with the benefit of side access.

Planning permission has been granted for an extension across the back of the property, extending out 4 metres and featuring bifold doors that open out to the garden. This extension creates the new kitchen and dining area. There is also planning in place for a basement that matches the extension footprint.

The original kitchen area will be transformed into a new family bathroom, and the hallway will be extended from the front door all the way through to the new kitchen and living area. A new roof has been fitted, complete with solar panels. Work upstairs has also begun, continuing the theme of improvement and expansion. For more information on the planning permission, please get in touch.

Location, Location
Edward Drive enjoys a tranquil setting whilst remaining exceptionally well connected. Birchington village offers a wide choice of shops, cafés, pubs, and restaurants, along with a lively calendar of local events. A short walk brings you to Epple Bay, with its sweeping coastal views. From here, the coastline opens up in both directions — towards Minnis Bay on one side or Westgate-on-Sea on the other — each a Blue Flag sandy beach perfect for swimming, sailing, or sunset walks.

Families are particularly well served, with an excellent choice of schools close by. Garlinge Primary, Birchington Primary, and St Nicholas-at-Wade Primary (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) are all within easy reach, alongside local secondary schools including Hartsdown Academy and King Ethelbert School.

For commuters, Birchington and Westgate train stations provide direct services to London, while frequent Loop buses connect the surrounding coastal towns. Road links are excellent, with quick access onto the A299, opening the way to Canterbury, Bluewater, and London.

Final Word
This is more than just a property — it is a project with a head start. The most challenging and expensive elements have already been completed, leaving the final stage to be tailored by the next owner. With a generous plot, highly regarded schools nearby, coastal walks on the doorstep, and superb transport connections, Edward Drive represents a truly exciting opportunity to create your dream home in a prime Birchington location.
