Sitting on the site of the original Lympne windmill and tucked away in a private spot surrounded by the Port Lympne Estate, Mill House has been skilfully created to provide a contemporary home in a wonderful rural location.

Remodelled from a former property on the site, the five-bedroom house is reached along a private drive.

It offers bright and spacious accommodation on two floors. From the covered tiled portico, the cedar front door leads into the outer hall with coat cupboard, storage benches to either side, and stunning cream travertine heated flooring which continues throughout the ground floor.

The dining area which has large folding doors which fully open on to the marble terrace.

The sitting room area has various concealed storage areas and meanders through to the smart, main kitchen with its huge picture window.

Wide drawer units are topped with Corian work surfaces. There is a moulded sink, an integral dishwasher and a range of fitted Miele appliances – fan oven, steam oven, warming drawer and induction hob.

A doorway leads to the utility area which has a comprehensive range of floor and wall cupboards plus butler sink and plumbing for a washing machine.

Beyond is a cloakroom and the boiler/drying room which also houses a central vacuuming unit.

There are three bedrooms, with two bathrooms, on the ground floor, one of which has good views and is presently used as an office.

A wide curved oak tread stairway leads to the first-floor landing which has lovely views across the nearby fields. The master bedroom is a bright, peaceful double-aspect room with a balcony. A concealed dressing area leads to a spacious contemporary en-suite bathroom.

The second bedroom on this floor is en-suite with a large shower.

The house has a detached garage. There is a hidden courtyard garden with raised fish pond and tall cypress trees and a terrace leads round to the main south-facing garden area. There is also a summerhouse and two outhouses.
