A beautifully presented Grade II listed five bedroom house with detached three bed annexe, set amidst delightful gardens of about 2 acres.
Mill House is a most attractive Grade II listed home, understood to date in part from the early 17th century with later Georgian additions and together with a charming detached three bedroom annexe known as Mill Barn, they sit amidst level landscaped gardens, with parking, garaging and an excellent range of outbuildings.
The pretty village of Bethersden, voted No 1 of 50 Best Villages in the UK (south east) by The Times in 2021, has a thriving village community and is within only 6 miles of Ashford station with its high speed service to London St Pancras in 37 minutes.
The main house with its wealth of timbers and beams and elegant sash windows, features very well presented and proportioned accommodation amounting to over 4,400 sq ft.
On the ground floor are four reception rooms; a delightful drawing room, in the oldest part of the house and featuring an open fireplace, an adjoining study with door leading through to a garden room, a formal dining room and, within the later Georgian portion, an elegant sitting room with high ceiling, garden vistas and a fine marble fireplace with wood burning stove.
The bespoke fitted kitchen by Roundel Designs Ltd includes a range of oak cupboards, larder cupboard, an electric AGA module and oil fired AGA with back boiler for heating and hot water. There is space for various appliances. (An attractive freestanding dresser and large kitchen table may be available by separate negotiation.)
Five attractive bedrooms and a dressing room are located on the first floor and served by two bathrooms, an en suite a shower room and separate WC. All of the bedrooms and dressing room benefit from fitted cupboards, and the majority enjoy a garden outlook.
Mill Barn is located to the north east of the main house, with its own well screened parking area and garden. This attractive period two storey conversion consists of a sitting room,a fitted kitchen with oil fired AGA and a back boiler, three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room. Garaging is currently incorporated within the building, but this could present further potential, subject to planning.
The property is approached over a gravel drive with ample parking to the front and side of the house. The gardens provide a lovely backdrop with level, part walled lawns stretching away to the south east, under planted with an array of spring bulbs, deep herbaceous borders and mature trees. To the east lies a kitchen garden, a paddock and a variety of fruit trees, including pear, apple and greengage.
