£800,000
Mill Croft, Coombe Lane, Ash
An individually designed and completely unique residence offering over 2600 sq.ft of characterful and particularly versatile accommodation which includes a large two bedroom annexe ideal for a relative or holiday let business. Vaulted ceilings, with exposed Canadian Spruce rafters and extensive glazing flourishes throughout giving the property a great sense of light and energy.
Mill Croft occupies a generous and elevated 0.45 acre plot of splendid gardens which wrap around the entire property and frame the stunning views of rolling countryside.
Built in the early 1970's by the current owner's father, who worked closely with an architect from Sandwich, it was designed with an octagonal shaped structure to represent its historic past as a Windmill. It has been with the same family since who have made improvements and changes over the years. It is now ready to be passed onto new owners where there is the opportunity to modernise and enhance this truly magnificent grand design.
The long gated driveway passes a double garage and brings you to a parking area for several cars. The main entrance opens into a vestibule which links the main property to the annexe which was once the grain store for the old mill. There is a conveniently placed utility area and access to both the kitchen and main entrance hall which is beautifully round and leads to three double bedrooms, the main family bathroom and living areas.
The triple aspect living room has an open fire which is encompassed by a circular chimney breast, French doors lead to the sun terrace whilst to the other side of the room there is access to the conservatory.
The kitchen and dining room are currently separate but could be opened up to create a large open plan kitchen/diner overlooking the garden and views beyond.
