Full Description
Welcome to The Old Mill
Nestled in the heart of the Lower Halstow Conservation Area, The Old Mill is a 5-bedroom property that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comforts. This exceptional home offers ample off-road parking and sits on a generous plot, ensuring convenience and comfort for residents and guests alike.
The Old Mill stands on a historic site known to have hosted various water mills since the 11th Century. Renovated into a residential property in 2007, the current owners have extensively modernised the home while preserving its unique character.
Constructed from locally produced bricks and crowned with a Kent peg tile roof, the property is set within grounds extending over 0.3 acres. It is bordered by a freshwater stream and access is provided directly to the Gibbs recreation area. The long private drive leads to a courtyard parking area, adding to the property’s allure.
Inside, original features include old Thames Barge timbers from the barge Neptune (1894) and pitch pine in the former Water Wheel room, adding to the charm. The spacious kitchen/diner is perfect for entertaining, with doors leading to the rear terrace and upper garden. The separate living room offers a cozy environment for quiet nights in. Five bedrooms span two upper floors, with the main bedroom featuring a vaulted ceiling and en-suite bathroom with an overhead rainfall shower. Both landings are larger than average and could be utilised as additional living areas.
Modern comforts include hot water underfloor heating throughout and FTTP 1GB ultra-fast broadband, making it perfect for home working, streaming movies, or gaming. There is a private wi-fi network within the property, ensuring fast connectivity throughout the building. A self-contained home office in the rear garden, complete with a log burner, could easily be converted into a bar. The extensive gardens offer a haven of tranquility and biodiversity.
The property also comes with approved full planning permission for an additional reception room, a double (tandem) garage, and diversion of the Mill Stream through the garden. With enough room for a stable and livestock (STPP), there are many opportunities to expand and personalise to your own tastes.
Located on the outskirts of the Medway Estuary, Lower Halstow sits between Sittingbourne and Rainham. The village boasts a well-regarded primary school, a Yacht Club, and a popular, award-winning gastropub offering a great selection of drinks and meals. St Margaret of Antioch, an 11th-century village church, is full of history, with an ancient font that has been in use for over 800 years. Within a 2-minute walk, you will find the Brickfields, a stunning community asset of managed woodlands, offering extensive and unobstructed views across the Medway Estuary.
Everyday conveniences are close by, while amenities such as gyms, supermarkets, and restaurants can be found in the neighbouring towns. Schools catering to children of all ages, including grammar schools, are easily reached by bus. High-speed rail connections to London are nearby; within 10 minutes, you can be at Rainham train station to begin the 45-minute fast train journey to the capital.
