The main entrance is via a UPVC glazed door which opens into a light and airy entrance hall which leads to the main living areas and a ground floor double bedroom and well-appointed family bathroom. To the right one will find a splendid circular sitting room with exposed beams, original refurbished round windows, and French doors to the terrace.

To the rear of the hallway there is a kitchen which has an array of traditional style units which have been finished with mosaic style tiles and offers plenty of space for free standing appliances. There is convenient access to the courtyard and the kitchen is complemented by a dining room that connects to the 140 ft rear garden through French doors.

The first floor is reached from the sitting room, there are wooden stairs which ascend to a landing which leads to a large double dual aspect bedroom and a recently restored oak balcony which wraps around the entire Windmill. There is also a roof terrace which could make the perfect spot for a morning coffee whilst enjoying the views over the rolling countryside.

On the second floor there is another double bedroom which is bursting with charm and character, the cogs sit neatly between the exposed beams and the two wooden framed windows complete with monkey tail handles offer the most spectacular views of the Kent countryside. The final floor works perfectly for storage, dressing room or a cosy snug.

The Mill is adjacent to an old flint workshop, which could be adjoined and converted, offering additional accommodation (subject to planning)
