Set along a quiet country lane The Mill House enjoys a peaceful and private setting within approximately three acres of mature gardens and grounds. This beautifully proportioned home offers an abundance of natural light and generous living spaces.

Steeped in local history, The Mill House traces its origins to the 1840s, once home to renowned Kelsale miller Thomas Skoulding beside his impressive tower mill, built in 1856. The property later served as the village police station before being transformed into the residence it is today.

Beautifully restored and sensitively modernised, The Mill House now blends heritage character with modern additions , offering a opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Kelsale's historic landscape.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, giving access to the ground floor accommodation. To the front of the property lies a delightful double-aspect library and an elegant sitting room. The sitting room also enjoys a dual aspect and features a wood-burning stove and French doors that offer access and beautiful views of the gardens.

At the heart of the home, the dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining, perfectly positioned between the main reception rooms and the kitchen. This impressive room benefits from large windows and French doors to the garden, flooding the space with natural light. The triple-aspect kitchen and breakfast room is located to the rear of the house and is bright and welcoming, featuring skylights, an Aga, and ample storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room, which contains the boiler and water softener.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a studio with wood burning stove, which is a versatile space, and a charming morning room, the perfect spot to relax and enjoy views over the gardens. A cloakroom and a number of built-in storage cupboards add practicality to the home.

Two staircases lead to the first-floor accommodation, where there are seven well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying delightful views over the surrounding countryside. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en suite bathrooms, while one features a dressing room. A further bathroom and a wet room complete the first-floor accommodation.

The property is set within approximately three acres of gardens and grounds, offering both privacy and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Beyond the formal lawns, there are post-and-rail paddocks, a floodlit ménage, and nine loose boxes, providing superb facilities for equestrian use as well as work shops. There is also a double garage further enhancing storage space.

Closer to the house, a terrace at the rear provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. A kitchen garden and polytunnel offer wonderful opportunities for homegrown produce, while established trees, colourful borders, and planting create a peaceful and picturesque setting throughout the seasons. In addition, a detached office provides an ideal space for home working or a creative studio, enjoying views across the gardens.
