Detached house for sale in West Malling ME19, 7 Bedroom

Mill House is an exceptional property situated in a tucked-away but convenient location close to the popular town of West Malling. This delightful home is truly unique. It is a former mill and dates back in parts to the 15th century with later additions. The wheel is no longer complete, however the penstock on the millstream is still in situ. There is an abundance of charming period features throughout this exceptional property. The accommodation in the main house is set over three floors with additional parts which have the potential to be converted to living accommodation. There are two further buildings, the first of which is a barn style annex incorporating living accommodation on the first floor over the original stabling below which is currently used as storage. There is also a substantial barn which is currently used as an equipment store on the ground floor with a playroom and shower room on the first floor. Attached to the barn is a 2-bay carport. Outside the grounds extend to approximately 5 acres with formal areas of garden, paddock, orchards and woodlands with the additional feature of the stream flowing into the millpond. This is a truly exceptional and unique property with potential to create even more accommodation making it an extremely versatile and desirable package.
